BASF Ultrafuse® 316L is an industrial composite filament compatible with the LPD Plus Zortrax Endureal 3D printer. It has features that allow users to produce metal parts in a safe, easy, and cost-effective way in comparison with Metal Injection Molding, Selective Laser Sintering or metal machining. The filament contains 80% 316L stainless steel particles and 20% of polymer content.
BASF Ultrafuse® 316L can be used for 3D printing complex metal end-use parts, functional prototypes, medical equipment, automotive parts, chemical pipes or valves, elements of tools or fixtures. Printed parts have up to 561 MPa tensile strength, 251 MPa yield strength, up to 53% elongation at break, and have austenitic (non-magnetic) microstructure.
3D prints gain their unique properties through the proprietary catalytic debinding and sintering process, outsourced at Elnik Systems GmbH. During this process, 3D printed “green parts” turn into fully metal “brown parts.” As a result you receive non-magnetizable elements with high corrosion resistance. During the post-processing procedures, BASF Ultrafuse® 316L models shrink by about 20%. This effect should be taken into account when preparing models for 3D printing.
The BASF Ultrafuse® 316L 3000g filament is a top-tier metal-polymer composite specifically engineered for producing high-quality metal parts through Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). This filament contains 316L stainless steel powder and a polymer binder, allowing users to create robust, corrosion-resistant metal parts using standard FFF 3D printers. After a post-processing debinding and sintering phase, the printed components are transformed into full-metal stainless steel parts.
316L stainless steel is known for its superior corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial applications, including those in the aerospace, automotive, medical, and tooling industries. The Ultrafuse® 316L filament delivers the convenience of 3D printing with the strength and durability of stainless steel.
