ASA

Ideal filament for outdoor applications

ASA (Acrylic styrene-acrylonitrile) is an opaque thermoplastic 3D printing filament with similar mechanical properties to ABS but superior UV and weather resistance. Therefore, it is commonly used in outdoor applications which can retain their color and properties.

  • UV resistance
  • High impact and wear resistance
  • High heat resistance
  • High toughness
