20% Hazelnut Shell-Filled ASA – Innovative Biobased Material for 3D FGF
By upcycling natural resources, we have developed 20% hazelnut shell-filled ASA, an eco-friendly biobased material tailored for 3D FGF (Fused Granular Fabrication) technology. This unique composite maintains the high performance of ASA—resistant to weathering, UV radiation, and impact—while adding sustainability and a natural aesthetic through the use of agricultural waste.
Why Hazelnut Shell-Filled ASA?
-
Sustainability: Agricultural waste (hazelnut shells) is valorized as a biobased filler, reducing the carbon footprint.
-
High Strength: The robust ASA matrix, reinforced with hazelnut shell filler, provides enhanced resistance to UV, impact, and harsh weather conditions.
-
Natural & Aesthetic Appearance: A wood-like matte surface delivers a warm, natural look.
-
Industrial Compatibility: Supplied in granule form for direct use in FGF technology, enabling cost-effective and large-scale 3D printing.
Applications
-
Automotive: Interior and exterior trim parts
-
Architecture & Construction: Facade claddings, urban furniture
-
Industrial Design: Functional prototypes and mold trials
-
Decorative Products: Furniture and interior accessories
