Filament Details

Performance ratings are intended as a general comparison guide. Refer to the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for detailed specifications and certified values.
MakerBot METHOD X ASA Filament is an engineering-grade material designed for producing durable, UV-resistant, and weather-resistant parts on MakerBot METHOD X 3D printers. Offering mechanical properties similar to ABS with superior resistance to sunlight, moisture, and environmental exposure, ASA is an excellent choice for functional outdoor applications. When paired with the METHOD X heated chamber, it delivers excellent dimensional accuracy, reduced warping, and strong layer adhesion, making it ideal for professional prototyping and end-use components exposed to demanding conditions.

Product Highlights

Top Features

ASA Precision Material

MakerBot Precision ASA is a weather-resistant 3D printing material designed to provide high-performance functional prototypes and end-use parts in demanding outdoor environments. Different from ABS, ASA has a thermoplastic formulation with a high UV resistance, which helps retain gloss, color and mechanical properties when exposed to outdoor elements. Ideal for demanding applications in the automotive, power and utilities, agriculture, oil & gas and mass transit industries. Compatible with SR-30 dissolvable support material.

Spool Type

Smart Spool™ provides valuable information including material type, color, and amount remaining via an RFID chip directly to MakerBot Print, while a desiccant in the spool maintains a low moisture level inside the drawer bay.

Storage Environment

Store in the included a vacuum-sealed metalized polyester bag to avoid moisture absorption from air; long-term exposure to humidity can compromise material quality and performance. Make sure the built-in desiccant is in the spool to absorb any moisture exposure during the material loading process.
