Fiberon ASA-CF08 — is an engineering filament based on ASA, modified with 8% carbon fiber content. It combines weather and UV resistance with enhanced mechanical properties typical of composites. Thanks to this, ASA-CF08 is an excellent choice for outdoor and functional applications where strength, durability, and dimensional stability are essential.
Key Benefits:
- Enhanced stiffness and strength: carbon fiber provides a high modulus of elasticity, making parts more resistant to mechanical loads and deformation.
- Weather resistance: ASA retains its properties when exposed to UV, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for outdoor and industrial parts.
- Reduced shrinkage and warping: thanks to carbon fiber, the risk of warping during printing is significantly lower compared to standard ASA.
- Heat resistance: the material withstands elevated temperatures while maintaining functionality under demanding operating conditions.
- Ease of printing: the filament supports high-speed printing up to 350 mm/s, is less prone to deformation, and requires minimal chamber heating, making it a versatile choice for various applications.
- Matte premium effect: ASA-CF08 parts have deep colors and an aesthetic surface that masks print layers.
Printing Recommendations:
- Nozzle temperature: 260-280˚C
- Build plate temperature: 90-100˚C
- Chamber temperature: 45-60°C. It is recommended to use a 3D printer with a closed chamber or active heating to reduce the risk of warping due to shrinkage during cooling.
- Print speed: up to 350 mm/s
- Cooling fan: off
- Retraction distance for direct drive: 1-3 mm
- Retraction speed for direct drive: 20-40 mm/s
- Drying mode: 90˚C for 6 hours (only if the material has absorbed moisture)
- Storage: must be kept in a dry environment, for example in a sealed PolyDryer™ Box
- Important 1: it is recommended to use an adhesive for reliable first-layer adhesion and easy part removal after printing, e.g., Magigoo PC.
- Important 2: ASA emits fumes during printing, so ensure proper room ventilation.
Applications of Fiberon ASA-CF08:
Fiberon ASA-CF08 is used in cases where a combination of strength, heat resistance, and environmental durability is required. Thanks to the carbon fiber, this material is ideal for manufacturing functional components in the automotive and engineering industries, housing elements, brackets, and technical parts operating in harsh conditions. It is widely used for printing outdoor parts — signage, enclosures, and structural elements exposed to sun, rain, or temperature fluctuations. ASA-CF08 is also valuable for producing prototypes that require increased rigidity, stability, and long-term durability.
