Create real metal parts using any open-architecture FFF/FDM 3D printer—or even a 3D printing pen.
Product Specifications
Available Formats:
Spools: 1.75mm and 2.85mm (0.5kg and 1kg)
Pellets: 1kg jars
Filament Density: 3.25g/cc – 4.15g/cc
Metal Content: 80.0% – 85.0% 17-4 Stainless Steel
High Performance & Durability
17-4 Stainless Steel is a martensitic precipitation-hardening stainless steel that provides an outstanding combination of high strength, good corrosion resistance, and good mechanical properties at temperatures up to 600°F (316°C).
Printing Experience
Print with a 0.6mm hardened steel nozzle.
Prints similar to PLA with minimal to no warping.
Works with virtually any open-architecture 3D printer (no proprietary hardware required).
Ensure the filament feeds straight into the extruder.
Important: Less hygroscopic than PLA. Do not dry this filament—drying will degrade the binder.
Sintering & Applications
Fully Sinterable: After printing, your part can be fired in a furnace to become 100% metal. This material is widely used in demanding industries due to its hardness and resistance.
Functional prototyping
Aerospace and automotive research
One-off and short-run manufacturing
Medical and chemical processing components
Reducing or eliminating tooling and machining costs
All formats print just like PLA on most open-architecture 3D printers. Large orders may be subject to longer lead times.
