Very Important - Special Considerations for 316L:

This filament is considered an expert user level filament. Successfully printing, debinding and sintering requires very specific workflows that must be followed without exception. Any deviation can damage your printer, your finished print or the debinding equipment from our sintering partner. Exceptional care must be taken into account during printing and transport of green parts. Not all print geometries may be successful in the sintering process. Pre-planning and post-processing will increase the chances of success. We highly encourage booking a free appointment with our application engineers to discuss your application for 316L. Please be sure to reference all print guidelines from Forward AM prior to the consultation. No returns are accepted for opened filament or print or sintered failures.

Required: DSH Sintering coupon to send your prints away for debinding and sintering into 316L SS. Cost: $62.50 Per kg of Green Parts. (Shipping, handling and brokerage fees excluded)

Forward AM | Ultrafuse® 316L Metal Infused Filament in 2.85mm

Designed for ultimate ease of handling on conventional Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printers. Forward AM Ultrafuse® 316L is an innovative filament for the production of 316L-grade steel parts.

Properties

Produces parts of stainless-steel type 316L
Easy handling
Uniform particle distribution enhancing mechanical properties
OSHA-friendly processing
High flexibility allows funneling through complex idler pulleys and guide-roller filament transportation systems in any printer
Compatible with both Bowden and direct drive extruders through the use of a non-slip outer surface
Shrinkage during sintering requires adjustment during part design

Highlights

Forward AM 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.

Forward AM Ultrafuse^® 316L formulates thermoplastic binders with 90 mass percent of highly-refined metal particles. As a filament, the metal-polymer composite comes with none of the occupational and safety hazards associated with the handling of fine metallic powders, turning 3D printing of stainless-steel parts affordable, straightforward, and safe.
