Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA)

Full 1 Kilo Roll – 1.75mm

ASA offers improved weather resistance and excellent strength properties and as such is widely used in the automotive industry. It is widely used for general prototyping in 3D printing, where its UV resistance, mechanical properties and easy to print properties make it an excellent material for use in engineering application prototypes.

X3D’s ASA filament has UV resistance, zero warp properties and excellent mechanical properties. ASA retains gloss, color, and mechanical properties in outdoor exposure. It has good chemical and heat resistance whilst being tough and rigid.

ASA is perfect when you are looking for beautiful and strong prints that can last outside in Australia’s high UV environment.
