Carbon Fiber ASA

Composites
Wear resistantUV resistantStrongImpact resistant

Carbon fiber ASA blends standard ASA with chopped carbon fiber, roughly doubling stiffness and lowering thermal expansion, which helps parts hold their shape under temperature swings. Unlike many carbon-fiber composites where reinforcement typically trades away some impact resistance for rigidity, carbon fiber ASA generally retains impact resistance alongside the stiffness gain. This composite inherits ASA's core strength, excellent UV and weather resistance, therefore holding up in conditions that would yellow and degrade standard ABS. Carbon fiber ASA is suitable for drone and UAV frames, structural outdoor hardware, and automotive exterior components that need both rigidity and long-term outdoor durability.

Available finishes

Each finish can be combined with the available colors at checkout.

Standard

Standard

7 colors

The standard (as-printed) finish on FDM parts shows the natural texture of layer-by-layer printing. The visibility of the layer lines depends on part geometry and orientation, plus light marks where support material was removed.

Sanded

Sanded

7 colors

The sanded finish on FDM parts reduces the visibility of layer lines compared to the standard finish, though some surface texture generally remains. How much smoothness is achieved can vary depending on the material.
