FDM materials
ASA CF
The carbon fibre-reinforced outdoor material
The ASA CF (ASA with carbon fibre) combines the weather resistance of ASA with the rigidity of carbon fibre, offering an ideal technical material for manufacturing functional parts and industrial components using FDM 3D printing.
Maximum strength, stability and durability for parts exposed to the outdoors
What is ASA CF?
The ASA CF It is an engineering thermoplastic based on carbon fibre-reinforced ASA to improve its mechanical and dimensional properties.
Its excellent resistance to UV rays, moisture and temperature changes makes it one of the best options for manufacturing parts intended to work outdoors or in demanding industrial environments.
Manufactured using FDM technology, allows to produce durable, lightweight components and long-lasting without the need for moulds.
LET'S TALK
Main properties of ABS GF
High rigidity
Carbon fibre provides greater structural rigidity and reduces component deformation.
Excellent UV resistance
It retains its properties and appearance even after prolonged exposure to the sun.
High dimensional stability
The parts retain their dimensions and exhibit less shrinkage during printing.
Good mechanical resistance
It withstands standard loads and stresses in industrial applications.
Excellent weather resistance
It resists moisture, rain, temperature changes, and atmospheric agents.
Ideal for functional parts
Specially suitable for end-use components intended for both indoor and outdoor use.

Technical information about ASA CF: characteristics and applications
What applications is ASA CF used for?
ASA CF is designed for manufacturing parts that must maintain their properties in demanding environmental conditions.
It is commonly used to manufacture:
- Technical casings.
- Exterior components.
- Industrial brackets.
- Tools.
- Machinery parts.
- Automotive components.
- Elements exposed to the sun.
- Functional prototypes.
- Short series.
- Final pieces.
Its weather resistance makes it an excellent alternative for applications where other materials lose performance over time.
Why do we use ASA CF at Additium3D?
At Additium3D we work with ASA CF because it makes it possible to manufacture parts that are both mechanically strong and resistant to environmental conditions.
Its main advantages are:
- High structural rigidity.
- Excellent UV resistance.
- Great dimensional stability.
- Very good weather resistance.
- Low deformation.
- Ideal for outdoor applications.
ASA CF and FDM technology
The combination of ASA CF and FDM technology allows strong, custom parts to be manufactured quickly and cost-effectively.
Among its main advantages are:
- Mould-free manufacturing.
- Great design freedom.
- Fast production.
- Excellent dimensional stability.
- Competitive costs for short runs.
- Manufacture of large-scale components.
Thanks to these features, ASA CF is one of the best options for manufacturing technical components intended for outdoor use.
When to choose ASA CF?
ASA CF is the best option when you are looking for:
- UV resistance.
- Exterior components.
- High rigidity.
- Good dimensional stability.
- Functional parts.
- Industrial production.
- Short series.
- Excellent durability.
If the project is not going to be exposed to the outside and the priority is to reduce costs, materials such as ABS GF can be a suitable alternative.
