Product variants
Spectrum ASA - X CF10 filament is an advanced composite material based on ASA with 10% carbon fibre reinforcement. It combines high mechanical strength, thermal resistance and weather resistance. It is designed for functional parts exposed to outdoor environments, UV radiation and humidity.
Key features
ASA is known as a more durable alternative to ABS with excellent resistance to UV radiation and hydrolysis. The addition of 10% carbon fibres increases stiffness, tensile strength and dimensional stability of printed parts. The filament achieves tensile strength over 7.5 GPa, HDT thermal resistance of 95 °C and a Vicat softening point of 101 °C. The surface of the prints has a matte carbon appearance that effectively masks individual layers. The material exhibits low shrinkage and can be printed even on desktop printers without an enclosed heated chamber.

Who is Spectrum ASA - X CF10 filament suitable for
The material is designed for advanced users and professionals who need functional parts resistant to external conditions. It is ideal for the production of functional prototypes, electronics enclosures, parts subject to abrasive wear, manufacturing tools and jigs, RC model bodies, drone components and anywhere a combination of stiffness, thermal resistance and UV stability is required. Thanks to its carbon surface, it is also suitable for visible technical parts. Check out our other carbon filaments in our range.
Tips for use
- Use a hardened steel nozzle - carbon fibres will quickly wear out a standard brass nozzle.
- Dry the filament before printing at 70 °C for 6-8 hours - ASA is slightly hygroscopic.
- Minimise active cooling from the print head to improve interlayer adhesion.
- For large parts, ensure a stable ambient temperature - ideally a printer with an enclosed cover.
- Use an adhesion layer (Magigoo, ABS juice, DimaFix) for reliable bed adhesion.
- Reduce print speed on thin walls and details to improve surface quality.
- Store in a dry place with a moisture absorber, ideally in vacuum packaging.
