ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) is a thermoplastic material commonly used in 3D printing. Known for its excellent weather resistance, ASA is highly durable and offers good UV stability, making it ideal for outdoor applications. It has similar properties to ABS but performs better in terms of color retention and resistance to environmental factors like rain, heat, and UV radiation. ASA also provides a smooth, glossy finish and can be easily post-processed, making it popular for functional prototypes, automotive parts, and outdoor equipment.
