ASA CF

3D Printing in ASA CF

ASA CF is a carbon fibre reinforced engineering polymer built for high-performance, outdoor-capable applications. It combines the toughness and UV resistance of ASA with the added rigidity and dimensional stability of carbon fibre. The result is a durable material optimized for structural strength, weather resistance, and long-term mechanical integrity.

With superior environmental resilience, ASA CF is ideal for load-bearing parts, outdoor enclosures, and industrial components that need to maintain performance and precision over time. Its matte carbon fibre surface finish also makes it well suited for customer-facing components.

ASA CF Summary

Use ASA CF for strong, UV-stable, and structurally rigid parts ready for outdoor or industrial use

ASA CF delivers mechanical strength, UV stability, and stiffness in a lightweight, carbon-filled package. It’s the go-to material for engineers needing structural parts that will operate in demanding outdoor, automotive, or industrial environments. ASA CF resists warping, holds tight tolerances, and has a clean, matte finish that’s both functional and professional.

ASA CF Material Properties

ASA CF offers high tensile strength and rigidity, with significantly improved environmental stability over ABS. The carbon fiber reinforcement reduces thermal expansion and deformation, allowing for highly accurate prints.

This material excels in outdoor or high-UV environments, with good chemical and impact resistance. Common use cases include housings, brackets, fixtures, drone or robotics components, and any application where mechanical stiffness and weather resistance are essential.
