Stratasys ASA
ASA filament (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) is the perfect all-purpose 3D printing thermoplastic. Its UV-resistance makes it especially suited in production parts for outdoor commercial and infrastructure use. And its wide selection of colors and matte finish makes it ideal for attractive prototypes in consumer sporting goods, tools and automotive components and accessories.

Suitables
Good UV resistance
Nice glossy surface, which is pleasant to tough
Tough and strong
Chemically resistant
Lower color fade
Can be smoothed with a solvent like acetone
Not suitables
ASA is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs water from the air
May be tough to work with
May produce toxic smoke when burnt
Some grades and filaments cost much
ASA melts with some other plastics giving rise to moldings of poor strength
Can't withstand some concentrated acids, hydrocarbons, esters, ethers and ketones
