ASA 3D Plastic: Description and Printing Parameters

ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is a durable and environmentally friendly 3D printing plastic with excellent mechanical properties and UV stability. It is a popular choice for outdoor applications and functional products because it combines strength with environmental resistance.

Main Properties of ASA Plastic:

1. Durability : High impact resistance, making it suitable for mechanical parts or tools.
2. Environmental resistance : Excellent resistance to UV rays, heat and moisture - ideal for outdoor use.
3. Chemical resistance : Resistant to many chemicals such as oils and greases.
4. Smooth surface : ASA provides a smooth, matte surface with minimal layer markings.
5. Low Warpage Rate : Compared to ABS, ASA is less prone to warping and shrinkage, making it easier to print.

Areas of use:

• Outdoor components: garden tools, vehicle parts, signs.
• Functional prototypes or final products that require strength and UV resistance.
• Electronics housings and enclosures.

ASA Recommended Print Settings:

• Diameter : 1.75 mm
• Weight : 0.850 kg net (without reel)
• Spool weight : 0.213 kg
• Printing temperature : 275°C – 280°C
• Bed temperature : 90°C – 110°C
• Printing speed : 40–60 mm/s
• Cooling fan : Off or set to low speed (if necessary when printing suspended parts).
• Table adhesion : Use PEI sheet, Kapton tape, glue stick, or ABS/ASA mix to prevent warping.
• Print chamber : It is recommended to use a closed and/or heated chamber to ensure temperature stability and reduce warping.

Post-Printing Processing:

• ASA is suitable for processing by grinding or using acetone vapor to obtain a smooth surface.
• Plastic can be glued using regular glue if assembly is required.

Advantages compared to ABS:

• Better resistance to environmental influences and UV rays.
• Less chance of deformation.
• Similar strength and flexibility.
