Impact resistantUV resistantStrongWater resistant

Glass Fiber ASA (GF-ASA) is a high-performance composite that enhances the durability and weather resistance of standard ASA with the added strength of glass fiber reinforcement. This modification significantly improves stiffness, dimensional stability, and heat resistance while reducing warping and shrinkage during printing. Unlike standard ASA, which offers greater impact resistance and flexibility, Glass Fiber ASA provides superior structural integrity and load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for demanding applications. Its excellent UV resistance and durability make it well-suited for outdoor applications, including automotive components, protective housings, and industrial enclosures.

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.
