Bambu ASA

Bambu ASA is an extremely durable material known for its outstanding resistance to UV rays, weather conditions, mechanical stress, and temperature fluctuations. This unique combination of properties makes it an ideal choice for printing outdoor items such as plant signs, mailboxes, wind vanes, and structural components that need to withstand challenging outdoor environments over an extended period.

Extraordinary Weather & UV Resistance

Bambu ASA provides excellent resistance to UV rays, oxidation, and aging, ensuring effective protection against breakage and color degradation for long-term outdoor use.

Tough and Durable

Ideal for outdoor use and standard structural requirements due to its durability and high impact resistance.

Better Temperature Resistance

Bambu ASA can maintain its shape at temperatures up to 100°C, unlike standard PETG or ABS.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What's the difference between ABS and ASA?

	ABS	ASA
Composition	acrylonitrile - butadiene - styrene	acrylonitrile - styrene - acrylate

ASA is a modified version of ABS that contains an additional acrylate component, which improves its weather adaptability and UV resistance.

ASA retains the impact resistance and processability of ABS while providing better resistance to fading, yellowing, and degradation from sunlight exposure. Both of them may release pungent and unpleasant odors during printing, but the pungent odor of ASA is notably lighter than ABS.

2. What is the difference applications between ABS and ASA?

ASA is ideal for outdoor applications, such as automotive exterior parts, signage, and outdoor equipment, thanks to its enhanced weather resistance and color stability. ABS is a versatile material with excellent mechanical properties that is commonly used for indoor applications.

3. What are the similarities between ABS and ASA?

In terms of physical and mechanical properties, both exhibit good impact resistance and high tensile strength, with almost the same levels of strength, toughness, and stiffness. Both ABS and ASA may release pungent and unpleasant odors during printing and the same warping tendency and enclosed printer requirement when printing large-size and/or high infill density models.

Printing Tips

• Pungent and unpleasant odors may be released during printing. Make sure your printer is placed in a well-ventilated area.

• Drying conditions: 80℃ for 8 hrs. Store in a dry environment after use. Dry before use if the material absorbs moisture. For more details please refer to: Filament drying instructions on WIKI.

• ASA is prone to warping when printing large size and/or high infill density model. To avoid warping: 1) Not recommemded to print too large size and/or high infill density models. 2) Use enclosure printers and ensure the build plate is properly glued before printing. 3) Set lower printing speed and higher heatbed temperature. For more details please refer to: Common print quality problems and solutions on WIKI.
