Service Overview
ASA 3D printed bracers are heat-resistant support pieces designed to help reduce PCB flex and stress in FAT PS3 consoles. These systems are large, heavy, and old, and the motherboard can experience flex from handling, assembly pressure, shipping, and long-term use.
For a non-technical customer, the idea is simple: add better support where it makes sense. Bracers do not repair a failed chip, but they can be part of protecting a restored motherboard after expensive BGA and power rail work has been completed.
ASA is used because it handles heat better than many basic 3D printing plastics and is better suited for an electronics enclosure environment. The goal is support without using a material that is poorly matched for heat exposure.
Premium Packages Customized to your budget.
