Discover our grey ASA filament, made in Canada, designed for outdoor 3D prints that truly withstand sun, humidity, and extreme conditions. Combining engineering robustness with local production reliability, this filament is ideal for parts that need to last and remain performant under stress and harsh weather.
Why choose our Canadian ASA
-
Made in Canada — enhanced traceability, local production, and support for the national industry.
-
UV & weather resistance — designed for lasting resistance to sun, humidity, fading, and temperature fluctuations.
-
High mechanical resistance — ideal for functional parts, casings, mounts, and fasteners subject to loads and wear.
-
Easy implementation — suitable for use on standard FDM/FFF printers with appropriate settings, without compromising performance.
Recommended applications
- Outdoor signage, displays, and decorative elements exposed to the sun.
- Automotive or marine parts requiring UV and environmental durability.
- Housings, covers, and functional parts exposed to thermal elevation or mechanical stresses.
- Maker projects and local service providers printing for reliable and quality production.
Recommended printing parameters
-
Nozzle temperature: ~235–260 °C
-
Bed temperature: ~90–110 °C (or as per your machine's recommendations)
-
Print chamber: enclosure recommended to stabilize ambient temperature and reduce warping
-
Cooling fan: low to medium speed fan to optimize layer adhesion and limit delamination
-
Drying and storage: ensure filament is dry before use — store in a dry bag or dehydrator when not in use
Tips for best performance
- Ensure a well-leveled build surface and consider a skirt or brim for first layer stability.
- In case of warping or corner retraction, slightly increase bed temperature or use an enclosure for ambient stability.
- Keep the filament dry. Moisture absorption can lead to imperfect surface finish, bubbles, or delamination.
- After printing, cool parts slowly in the enclosure or under a cover to minimize residual stresses.
In summary, our grey ASA filament made in Canada offers superior durability and consistent reliability for parts that need to withstand sun, weather, and mechanical stresses. Local, robust, and performant, it is the high-performance solution for your outdoor projects and professional productions.
