ASA is hard, dimensionally stable, resistant to UV radiation and weather influences; that makes ASA particularly well suited for outdoor use.

Safety data sheet ASA

Due to its mechanical properties, ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is extremely suitable for the production of your first functional prototype before serial production. ASA has excellent weather resistance and maintains its physical shape well. In addition, ASA has an excellent lightfastness and therefore hardly yellows.

We recommend the following settings*:

• Nozzle temperature: 240 - 255 °C
• Heated bed: 80 - 105°C
• Layer height: 0.2mm
• Heated bed: 80 - 90 °C
• Fan: +/- 10% > ASA doesn't like a windy environment!
• Enclosure: Yes, or print a skirt as high as your object
• Base: Brim 5 - 10 mm
• Diameter: 1.75mm and 2.85mm
• Diameter tolerance: +/-0.05mm
• Length 750 grams 1.75 mm = 310 meters
• Length 750 grams 2.85 mm = 105 meters

Advantages of ASA:

• Excellent UV and weather resistance
• Good impact resistance
• Barely discolored
• Shape-retaining
• Chemical resistance to water, ozone, alkali, grease, alcohol and oils
• Recyclable
• Better properties than ABS

*Settings may differ per printer. We therefore recommend that you start experimenting with ASA until you have found the exact settings for your printer. Plasticz is not responsible for the use of ASA by the operator of the 3D printer/consumer.
