Pick the material for Arizona heat
A dashboard or a rooftop enclosure in an Arizona summer is too hot for ordinary PLA. Choose by where the part lives.
- ASA for anything in the sun: vehicle trim, outdoor housings, antenna and sensor mounts.
- ABS for hot interiors and enclosures.
- PAHT-CF carbon-fiber nylon for stiff brackets near real heat.
- PETG for indoor mounts, racks and fixtures.
From one part to a production run
