Ultrafuse 316L combines greater freedom of design with a low total cost of ownership. 3D-printed parts acquire their final properties, for example in terms of hardness and strength, through a debinding and sintering process developed by BASF, which has emerged as the industry standard. As a filament, Ultrafuse 316 L is 80% stainless steel and has a 20% polymer content which allows for easy printing on many open FFF desktop printers. Examples of applications using Ultrafuse 316L: – Tooling – Jigs and fixtures – Series production – Functional parts and prototypes Ultrafuse® 316L is cost-effective because: – Our filament works with any open FFF printer, which means low investment cost in hardware – We make use of a highly efficient and established post-processing technology used in the Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) industry – As this is a filament, material handling is much safer and very easy. This allows an easy material exchange in comparison to handling with fine metal powders Advantages Ultrafuse 316L: – It is in general 1.4 to 2 times cheaper than most metal powders, with less investment in hardware – There is a significant cost advantage for small and medium-sized components – The overall manufacturing costs decrease significantly with increasing the lot size – With additive manufacturing, you can create full stainless steel parts with a high degree of complexity For more information, please check these materials, or visit the Ultrafuse 316L page on Forward-AM.com For a quote, please contact us by clicking here.
