Material
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.
