About ASA
Essentially ABS engineered for the outdoors: similar strength and heat resistance, far better UV and weather stability, and less odor — but it still warps and wants an enclosure. The go-to for parts that live in sunlight (automotive trim, garden, signage).
- Outdoor / UV-exposed parts
- Automotive exterior trim
- Weatherproof functional parts
- Anything ABS-grade that also sees sun
- Printing without an enclosure
- Poorly ventilated rooms
