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: 3.45g/cc – 3.55g/cc
Metal Content: 80.0% – 85.0% 316L Stainless Steel
High Corrosion Resistance
316L Stainless Steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel containing molybdenum. This addition increases general corrosion resistance, improves resistance to pitting from chloride ion solutions, and provides increased strength at elevated temperatures.
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. 316L is the standard for marine, chemical, and food-grade applications due to its durability.
Functional prototyping
Marine, aerospace, and automotive research
One-off and short-run manufacturing
Food processing and medical-grade prototypes
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.
