BASF Forward AM's Ultrafuse metal 3D printing filament has changed the game for desktop 3D printing. You can now print with real stainless steel metal on your UltiMaker S5 or S7 3D printer. This metal 3D printing filament that can be debound and sintered, leaving your 3D printed part solid stainless steel metal.
Using the right design parameters and print settings, along with a simple hardened steel nozzle upgrade, anyone from manufacturers and engineers to research students and hobbyists can successfully print with solid metal on their 3D printer.

Questions
Hi there. Does the Ultrafuse have a shelf life? Darren
is this also made for the S7? This only talks about compatibility with the S5.
What's included in the post processing voucher? Does the metal slicing software not come with Cura already?
Does it include the metal support material and the DD print core?
If we have no intention of sintering and only want a part with the metal look, feel and bit more weight, can we use a Ultimaker S5 without needing this kit? Do we need to buy lower %metal filament?
Hi Jason, as long as you have a CC nozzle (0.4 or 0.6) and metal glue for your build plate, you don't need the whole kit and can purchase the spool directly. However, when you print with this filament, the part comes out looking nothing like metal and it is super fragile (in this stage, we call it a "green part"). Only after you debind and sinter the part is that it becomes metal. Therefore, I would suggest you look into a metal-infused PLA spool instead.
