Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) is a thermoplastic that is becoming increasingly popular. ASA filament has many properties that make it ideal for engineering and outdoor applications. ASA 3D filament is the new and improved cousin of the ABS filament we have all heard of. ASA offers many of the same benefits as ABS, without some of its drawbacks.

The most important features are strength, rigidity, extreme resistance to chemical exposure and heat. It is designed especially for professional use. Most often it is used for making prototypes, which must tolerate higher temperatures and must be resistant to UV rays. The finished products made with ASA filament are very durable and resistant to impacts. They can be exposed to the sun and heat and generally do not warp or change color. For example, 3D prints made with ABS filament are more delicate when exposed to the sun and tend to deteriorate and yellow if left outdoors. With ASA you do not have these problems: it can stay in the sun for years without warping or changing color.

Another advantage of using ASA filament over ABS filament is that it warps less during 3D printing; be careful how you adjust your cooling fan; ASA can break in layers if you cool your 3D printing too much. This filament is a little difficult to 3D print because it is sensitive to heat during 3D printing, but it is possible to print it with a 3D printer that does not have a shroud. However, once printed, ASA parts are very heat resistant and durable, making it a great choice for making birdhouses, custom lawn equipment, replacement outlet covers, exterior car parts, home components, sporting goods, and other outdoor parts and equipment.

✔️High resistance to UV rays,

✔️water resistant, high chemical resistance,

✔️excellent for functional uses,

✔️possibility of post-processing with acetone,

✔️Can be printed with a 3D printer without a cover

❌It is susceptible to cracking during the printing process,

❌It is more expensive than other 3D printing filaments and consumes a lot of energy to print.
