Weather-Resistant Performance for Outdoor Applications
Unlike standard ABS, MakerBot Precision ASA combines the strength and printability of ABS with enhanced UV and chemical resistance. This makes it the ideal choice for parts that will be exposed to sunlight and moisture over extended periods, such as agricultural equipment, transportation components, and utility industry products. The thermoplastic formulation helps retain gloss, colour, and mechanical properties when exposed to outdoor elements.
Smart Spool Technology for Seamless Printing
Each spool features Smart Spool technology with an integrated RFID chip that transmits essential information to your MakerBot METHOD X printer, including material type, colour, and the amount of filament remaining. A built-in desiccant maintains low moisture levels inside the drawer bay, ensuring optimal material quality and consistent print results.
Professional-Grade Strength and Durability
MakerBot ASA filament delivers high-performance mechanical properties suitable for functional prototypes and production parts. With a flexural modulus of 330,000 psi and tensile strength of 7,100 psi, your prints will withstand demanding applications. The material also offers excellent impact resistance and dimensional accuracy of ±0.2mm for precision parts.
