Benefits of Printing with ASA
ASA is a robust and weather-resistant 3D printing material specifically developed for outdoor use and prolonged exposure to sunlight. At 3D On Demand, we use ASA for applications where parts need to function outdoors for years without discoloring or becoming brittle. Whether for garden items, automotive parts, or architectural models, ASA delivers reliable performance while maintaining color and strength.
Frequently Asked Questions about ASA
ASA is similar to ABS in terms of strength but has much better UV and weather resistance. ASA doesn’t fade in sunlight and doesn’t become brittle, making it ideal for outdoor use.
ASA maintains its color and strength for years, even with direct exposure to sunlight and weather conditions.
Yes, ASA is excellent for post-processing. It can be easily sanded, drilled, and painted for a smooth and professional finish.
We can print ASA parts up to a maximum size of 35 × 35 × 35 cm per piece. Larger objects can be printed in multiple parts and bonded and assembled together, making larger designs possible.
Most orders are produced and shipped within 3 working days.
Applications for ASA
Why Choose ASA?
ASA is the go-to choice when you need outdoor parts that must maintain their color and strength. Some excellent applications include:
When should You not Choose ASA?
While ASA performs excellently in outdoor environments and UV exposure, it’s not always the best choice. For example, when your project is only used indoors and doesn’t require weather resistance, materials like PLA or PETG are often cheaper and easier to process. Also, ASA, like ABS, emits a strong odor during printing and requires a heated printing environment to prevent warping. For projects where environmental friendliness is a priority, bio-based materials like PLA or ECO-PLA are more suitable.
In short: ASA is ideal for strong, weather-resistant, and colorfast outdoor parts, but less necessary for indoor use or when simplicity and environmental friendliness are more important.
