3D Print Stainless Steel Parts
Formerly the provenance of thermoplastics, Ultrafuse 316L allows production of genuine metal parts from your desktop 3D printer, saving huge costs in Metal Injection Molding or metal machining.
- Made from 80% 316L stainless steel particles in polymer base
- Specifically engineered for desktop 3D printing
- Non-magnetizable with high corrosion resistance
- Applications include:
- Functional Prototyping
- Medical Equipment
- Automotive Parts
- Chemicals pipes, pumps and valves
- Mold inlays with near-surface cooling
Print On Any Desktop 3D Printer
The path to printing metal is shorter than you might think, with virtually any desktop 3D printer being capable.
- Install a hardened nozzle
- Make sure your bed is heated
- Prints on an Ender, an Ultimaker, a Modix, or a Voron!

Quick and Easy Debind and Sinter Process
Your spool of 316L comes with a Processing Ticket, to easily get your part through the necessary debinidng and sintering process that turns your printed, "green part" into a fully metal, "brown part".
- Mail your parts to the experts at DSH within three months of purchase
- We work with DSH to quickly process parts on scheduled runs
- DSH mails your processed, solid steel parts back to you!
- Purchase additional Processing Tickets at your convenience

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Q: What is the shrinkage % with this material?
- A: It is recommended to scale the part up by 120% (119.82% for more accuracy) in the X and Y, then scale the Z up by 126% (126.10% for more accuracy) for printing.
- Q: Can the debinding and sintering be done without outsourcing? Can I purchase the equipment and debind and sinter the parts myself?
- A: It is absolutely possible to process the Debinding and Sintering steps yourself, if you have access to a facility with the correct equipment or are interested in doing debinding and sintering on the scale that justifies the capital equipment. The most cost-effective method for the majority of users will be utilizing the network of debinding and sintering service centers prepared to handle the parts. To shorten research and negotiation time, you can purchase a MatterHackers BASF Ultrafuse 316L Processing Ticket that connects you with a reliable debinding and sintering company at a simple, established price.
- Q: How much does outsourcing debinding and sintering cost?
- A: Outsourcing cost ranges widely depending on the debinding and sintering company, bulk of parts being processed and method used. For a set cost on processing up to 1 kg of BASF Ultrafuse 316L printed green parts, check out our BASF Ultrafuse 316L Processing Ticket. Please note that every purchase of a BASF Ultrafuse 316L Metal 3D Printing Filament spool from MatterHackers comes with 1 free BASF Ultrafuse 316L Processing Ticket.
- Q: Can I use support materials for this filament?
- A: We do not recommend using supports with your Ultrafuse 316L prints. While it is possible to use breakaway and water soluble supports to help produce your Ultrafuse 316L parts, they will not be able to maintain the print's shape during the sintering process, which will lead to deformity. Using Ultrafuse 316L filament as its own support material is also possible, but it will require machining, cutting, or grinding the support off after sintering.

Questions
What is the mechanical properties of this ABS like Elasticity Modulue and poissons ratio and density?
What are dimensions of reel. Will it fit in the Ultimaker material handler?
What would cause layer separation? Print temp 250 C Bed temp 90 C (max of my printer) Speed 60 mms Cooling ON
What are the mixing proportions of the ABS?
All I can add is that I'm testing my luck with a CR6Max. Here's the trick to adhesion... ---- I maxed out the OEM settings at 260/90 and run my 1st layer SLOW. As in 10 slow. ---- Only using glue on a glass bed and after the 1st layer adheres she's running. Benchy came out 9.5/10 first attempt, first ABS print ever.
Is it food, microwave and dishwasher safe?
Why is this filament so difficult to print with? I'm running a heated enclosure @ 45C, printing at 235C, with a heated bed of 110C. Printing small 1-2 inch parts on a level/clean bed with proper first layer leveling and I'm getting absolutely awful warping that ruins the prints. So far I can't see anything PRO about this filament.
Hey! I just wanted to see if you had any pictures comparing this (MH Pro Series Purple) compared to the Build Series Purple. The Pro looks a bit more matte and lighter in hue than the Build--something I've been looking for!
My build recommends esun pla+, or esun abs, I am looking for maximum shock/impact resistance, with maximum layer adhesion, not concerned with cost of filament, in other words not looking for the bargain filament on this build. My question is the pro series better than esun filament?
