ASA
FDM · Black & White
Bambu ASA is a highly durable material with excellent UV, weather resistance, mechanical and thermal resistance. Its unique combination of properties makes it an ideal material for printing outdoor models (plant signs, mailboxes, weathervanes, etc.) and structural components that require long-term exposure to harsh outdoor environments.
FDM · Standard Plastics
ABS
FDM · Black & White
Known for its durability, strength and heat resistance, ABS is ideal for parts that need to withstand stress or impact, such as pipes or housings for electrical components. It is recommended to use a closed environment when printing ABS to prevent deformation and ensure stable print quality. Bambu Lab ABS is a versatile consumable material with excellent strength that enables the manufacture of durable and long-lasting parts. It offers significant improvements in strength and durability compared to PLA and PETG, especially when printing in enclosed printers.
