ASA – UV & Weather Resistant Alternative To ABS
ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is a UV-resistant, impact-resistant and chemical-resistant 3D printing material that combines high mechanical strength with excellent weather resistance.
ASA is an ideal choice for outdoor applications as it does not yellow or degrade in sunlight. It is also more impact and chemical resistant than ABS, making it suitable for automotive components, building elements and industrial parts exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
The material has low shrinkage and warping, ensuring precise prints with good dimensional stability. ASA is often used in automotive, sign production, construction and technical prototypes, where high mechanical strength and long durability are required.
Properties of ASA
ASA is a weather-resistant and impact-resistant material that is ideal for outdoor applications, industrial prototypes and functional parts.
- UV & weather resistant – Perfect for outdoor applications
- Impact resistant & robust – Stronger than ABS with higher toughness
- Chemical resistant – Resists oil, grease, solvents & acids
- Low warping & good dimensional stability – Easy to print with precision
- Long durability & mechanical strength – Perfect for functional prototypes
Weatherproof & Impact-Resistant 3D Print With ASA
ASA is a robust material specially developed for outdoor and demanding industrial applications. The material does not degrade in sunlight, moisture or chemicals, making it ideal for signs, building components and automotive parts.
Compared to ABS, ASA has improved impact strength, higher chemical resistance, and better temperature resistance, making it a superior choice for functional parts in demanding environments.
ASA has low shrinkage and minimal warping, making it easier to print with than ABS. It ensures dimensionally stable parts with a beautiful finish that can be used both indoors and outdoors.
