Bambu ASA Aero

Bambu ASA Aero is a self-foaming material known for its remarkable durability and strength. Its heat-sensitive foaming technology enables controlled model density, resulting in exceptionally lightweight printed models. Furthermore, it offers outstanding resistance to temperature, water, and UV rays. These unique characteristics make it an ideal choice for printing long-lasting outdoor models and weight-sensitive projects, such as RC planes.

Impact Resistance & Built to Last

Compared to other foaming filaments, ASA Aero is tougher and has greater layer strength, making it more resistant to impacts, collisions, and falls. This makes it ideal for high-stress demanding applications.

	Bambu ASA Aero	Bambu PLA Aero	Wood PLA
Toughness (Impact Strength - XY)	32.0 kJ/m²	24.5 kJ/m²	7.9 kJ/m²
Layer Adhesion (Impact Strength - Z, Dry State)	3.4 kJ/m²	2.5 kJ/m²	1.1 kJ/m²
Layer Strength (Bending Strength - Z)	24 MPa	15 MPa	15 MPa

Ultra-lightweight, Controllable Density

ASA Aero has a density that is only 50% to 75% of regular ASA prints, making it incredibly lightweight—ideal for applications where weight is a crucial factor, such as in remote-controlled (RC) planes and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Its controllable foaming characteristics allow for a lower print density by either increasing the printing temperature or reducing the flow rate.

The average density of prints will vary with changes in parameters such as actual printing temperature, flow rate ratio, printing speed, model size, wall thickness and infill density.

	Parameter Setting	Average Density

Printing Speed	Increases ↗	Stable or Increases ↗
Flow Rate Ratio	Increases ↗	Increases ↗

Printing Tips

• Foaming ASA materials (ASA Aero) have high requirements for material drying and parameter settings. Please carefully read ASA Aero Printing Guide before starting the printing process.

• Drying conditions: 80℃ for 8 hrs. ASA Aero is highly sensitive to humidity. To achieve optimal printing performance, it is recommeded further drying before use and after storage. For more details please refer to: Filament Drying Recommendations on WIKI.

• To minimize warping, avoid printing large-sized high infill density models. Use enclosed printers and ensure the build plate is properly applied with glue for better print adhesion before printing. Set lower printing speed and higher heatbed temperature. For more details please refer to: Common print quality problems and solutions on WIKI.

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