Engineered for demanding functional parts, Filazoo ASA-CF combines the outdoor durability of ASA with carbon-fiber reinforcement for improved rigidity, dimensional stability, and a refined matte finish. Its UV and weather resistance make it especially suitable for outdoor equipment, automotive components, tools, fixtures, enclosures, and precision prototypes.
Engineering Performance Built for Outdoor Use
Filazoo ASA-CF is a carbon-fiber-reinforced ASA filament developed for strong, rigid, and dimensionally stable functional parts. It retains ASA’s resistance to UV exposure and changing weather conditions while the carbon-fiber reinforcement helps reduce shrinkage and improves stiffness.
The naturally matte, low-gloss surface gives printed parts a clean technical appearance while helping make layer lines less noticeable. This makes ASA-CF an excellent choice for functional prototypes and end-use components that must look professional and perform reliably.
For the best results, print ASA-CF in an enclosed printer using a wear-resistant nozzle. Proper ventilation is recommended when printing ASA-based materials.
Feature Highlights
-
UV and Weather Resistant: Designed for components exposed to sunlight, changing temperatures, and outdoor environments.
-
Carbon-Fiber Reinforced: Increased rigidity and dimensional stability for functional engineering applications.
-
Excellent Dimensional Accuracy: Carbon-fiber reinforcement helps control shrinkage and warping for precise, repeatable parts.
-
Heat-Resistant ASA Base: Performs better in elevated-temperature applications than common PLA and standard PETG materials.
-
Professional Matte Finish: Produces a refined, low-gloss surface that helps reduce visible layer lines.
-
Built for Functional Parts: Ideal for brackets, housings, fixtures, automotive accessories, outdoor equipment, and engineering prototypes.
Recommended Applications
- Outdoor equipment and protective housings
- Automotive interior and exterior accessories
- Functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures, and manufacturing tools
- Electronic enclosures and robotics assemblies
- Mounting brackets and structural components
- Drone, RC, replacement, and low-volume end-use parts
Printing Guidance
- Use a hardened-steel, ruby, or similarly wear-resistant nozzle; carbon fiber rapidly wears standard brass nozzles.
- A 0.6 mm nozzle is recommended for dependable material flow and reduced clogging risk.
- Print inside an enclosure, avoid cold airflow, and allow the component to cool gradually before removal.
- Use a brim for large parts or models with sharp corners.
- Dry the filament if you notice popping, bubbles, rough surfaces, or inconsistent extrusion.
- Print in a well-ventilated area because ASA materials may produce noticeable fumes.
