Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate · HDT 95 °C
ASA 3D printing
Mechanical behavior close to ABS, with much higher resistance to UV and weather.
What ASA is used for
Outdoor enclosures, exposed marine and automotive parts, covers left in the sun.
What to watch out for
It wants a warm chamber. It is not flexible: seals need TPU.
Serial batch: about seven production days

FAQ
ASA: common questions
01When should you use ASA in 3D printing?
Mechanical behavior close to ABS, with much higher resistance to UV and weather. Typical uses: outdoor enclosures, exposed marine and automotive parts, covers left in the sun.
02What are the limits of ASA?
It wants a warm chamber. It is not flexible: seals need TPU.
03What temperature can 3D printed ASA take?
The indicative heat deflection temperature (HDT) is 95 °C. It is a reference value for the filament: real behavior depends on geometry, load and print settings.
04Can you produce serial batches in ASA?
Yes. The batch runs with the same file and the same parameters, with about seven production days plus shipping. From 10 parts we apply −20%, from 30 parts −40%, and from 100 parts a custom price.
Got a part to print in ASA?
Upload the file to the quote tool or ask for a batch: if the material is not the right one, we tell you before printing.
