ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is a UV-resistant weatherable polymer.
For most people, ASA filament is relatively unheard of within the 3D printing community. Our ASA has a low-gloss matte finish that makes it a perfect filament for technical prints – especially when you don’t want the high-gloss surface finish often associated with many other 3D printing materials such as ABS, PETG, or PLA. While it may not be too common, it’s an excellent material when you need to 3D print something that’s intended for outdoor use, like a planter, garden gnome, or for any random outdoor fixture. ASA is very similar to ABS filament, and prints about the same too, but what it holds over ABS is that white ASA takes a lot longer to start yellowing in the sun or to start deteriorating and losing its strength.ASA’s UV-stability makes it an ideal material for outdoor applications that will experience intense exposure to the sun and weather.ASA’s exceptional mechanical and thermal properties – coupled with excellent UV-stability – is why this resin is used the Auto, Marine, and RV industries for exterior applications such as mirror housings, cowl covers, radiator grills, and sensor housings.
