Color range of PLA Premium and CPE and its RAL and Pantone equivalence

The theory of color is a group of basic rules in the mixture of colors to achieve the desired effect by combining pigments. By combining 4 basic pigments you can achieve all the colors of the chromatic range. This, which a priori seems very simple, is an art in the press and, led to 3D printing, is still more complex.

What is the ASA in 3D printing?

The ASA is an amorphous thermoplastic terpolymer material similar to ABS created in 1970 by the manufacturer BASF under the trade name Luran S. The difference between these two materials at the structural level is that the ASA uses an acrylic elastomer and the ABS an elastomer of butadiene.
