ASA filaments

ASA filament for 3D printer – perfect for outdoor applications and industrial projects

ASA (acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate) is a high-performance filament for 3D printing that offers better UV protection and weather resistance compared to ABS. This makes it an ideal choice for outdoor applications, parts exposed to environmental influences, and industrial projects where strength and durability are critical factors.

ASA is popular among engineers and manufacturers as it combines the strength and mechanical properties of ABS with additional resistance to sunlight, moisture, and chemicals. Thanks to these qualities, ASA is preferred for 3D printing of automotive parts, electronic housings, technical components, and outdoor structures.

Advantages of ASA filament:

✅ Exceptional resistance to UV rays and atmospheric conditions – ASA does not yellow or crack with prolonged exposure to sunlight, making it ideal for outdoor applications.

✅ Strength and resistance to mechanical load – Similar to ABS, ASA is a highly durable material that withstands impact and high mechanical stress.

✅ Lower tendency to deformation (warping) compared to ABS – ASA filament has more stable properties during cooling, which means fewer issues with distortion during printing.

✅ Chemical and oil resistance – Suitable for industrial applications and mechanical parts that come into contact with aggressive substances.

✅ Smooth surface and easy processing – ASA allows easy sanding, painting, and smoothing with acetone, making it convenient for final finishing.

✅ Moisture resistance – ASA does not absorb water as easily, which means it retains its mechanical properties even in a humid environment.

Disadvantages of ASA filament:

⚠️ Higher printing temperature – ASA requires higher temperatures (230-260°C) and a heated platform for good results.

⚠️ Need for good ventilation – During printing, ASA emits fumes similar to ABS, so it is recommended to use it in a well-ventilated area.

⚠️ Higher price than ABS and PLA – ASA filament is slightly more expensive than ABS, but offers better resistance to external conditions.
