Ultrafuse 316L
General information
Components
Polymer and 316L stainless steel composite filament
Product Description
Metal-polymer composite filament to produce metal components in a stainless steel type 316L using standard
FFF printer systems and subsequently an industry standard debinding and sintering process. The filament has
a non-slip surface allowing its application in any Bowden or direct drive extruder. Its high flexibility allows it to be
funnelled through complex idler pulleys as well as many guide roller filament transportation systems in any
printer.
Typical applications are:
▪ Tooling
▪ Jigs and fixtures
▪ Series production
▪ Functional parts and prototypes
Delivery form
Ultrafuse 316L is delivered on 3KG spools. The two products have 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm diameters. The filament
is available in both diameters.
