Our Material: ASA Filament – Built for the Outdoors, Designed to Last

At The Cubed Lab, we exclusively use ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) filament — a premium thermoplastic engineered for durability, weather resistance, and long-term performance. Whether you're ordering custom signage, prototypes, or functional parts, ASA ensures every print is made to last, while still being cost-effective.

Why ASA?

☀️ UV Resistance

Unlike standard plastics that fade or become brittle in sunlight (PLA), ASA is highly UV resistant. That means your prints stay vibrant and strong — even after prolonged outdoor exposure. Perfect for signage, outdoor décor, or any part exposed to the elements.

🌧️ All-Weather Performance

ASA is built to withstand rain, wind, and fluctuating temperatures without warping or cracking. Its excellent thermal and chemical resistance makes it ideal for harsh environments.

🔩 Strong, Tough & Impact-Resistant

ASA combines mechanical strength with impact resistance, making it a great choice for both decorative and functional prints. It doesn’t just look good — it performs under pressure.

🎨 Superior Surface Finish

ASA produces parts with a smooth, matte finish that resists grime and fingerprints. Its crisp detail and professional appearance make it especially well-suited for custom signage and branding.

♻️ Stable and Long-Lasting

ASA maintains its shape and color over time, making it a long-term material solution. It's more dimensionally stable than PLA and more weather-tough than ABS, giving you the best of both worlds.

Ideal Applications

Outdoor signs and nameplates
Custom vehicle or equipment labels
Garden or trail markers
Functional parts
Durable indoor items with a clean, matte aesthetic

Built for Quality, From the Ground Up

We believe that great prints start with great material. That’s why we commit to using ASA only — so you can trust that every product you receive is crafted with professional-grade quality and outdoor-grade toughness.
