Ultrafuse® 316L

Ultrafuse® 316L by BASF 3D Printing Solutions is a metal-polymer composite filament for the production of metal components in 316L stainless steel. It enables manufacturing using conventional fused filament fabrication (FFF) machines, followed by an industry standardized debinding and sintering process. Used in some functional prototypes and components of aerospace, automobile and heavy-duty tooling. Possesses a non-slip surface allowing it to be applied in most Bowden or direct drive extruders. Exhibits high flexibility, so it can be fed through complex idler pulleys and multiple filament transportation systems in printers with no extra drying. Provides high strength, hardness and good corrosion resistance. Ultrafuse® 316L offers an attractive total cost of ownership, fast material exchange as well as easy and affordable metal 3D printing. It has a shelf life of 12 months.
