3D Printing, NFC and QR Gadgets for Corporate Events
In Monday’s topic this week we looked at filament storage and its life cycle as a long game, where it pays to think about what you’ll be doing with the material years down the road; recycled filament is the logical next step in that line of thinking, because it shifts the question from ‘how...
Monday’s guide to ABS and ASA covered where PLA’s capabilities end and the world of heat-resistant technical materials begins. This article picks up from there and focuses on ASA as a specific outdoor alternative to ABS, one that solves the biggest weakness of the classic: degradation under UV radiation.
