3DXMAX® ASA

3DXMAX® ASA (Acrylonitirle Styrene Acrylate) is a UV-resistant, famously weatherable polymer. Our ASA has a low-gloss matte finish which makes it the perfect filament for technical-looking prints, especially when you don’t want the high-gloss surface finish often associated with 3D printing materials like ABS, PETG, or PLA.

Gearbox HT2™ 3D Printer: Print industrial-grade parts using our ASA filament and more with the new Gearbox™ HT2 High-Temp 3D Printer.
