DMLS 3D printing technology allows you to create prototypes and functional parts directly from metal. On this page, you can see all the material's characteristics.
Description
This material consists of a fine metal powder composed mainly of iron (66-70%), enriched with chromium (16-18%), nickel (11-14%) and molybdenum (2-3% ). The material offers strong corrosion resistance and is suitable for both technical applications in the mechanical, medical or engineering fields and for making watch or jewellery parts.
There 3D printing in 316L stainless steel is highly accurate thanks to the fine layer resolution (30-40 µm) and the precision of the laser. Unlike sintering with polymer powders, stainless steel printing with DMLS requires supports. The supports are made from the same powder as the part and are removed afterwards.
Without any special finishing, the material exudes a granular and rough appearance. Compared with the other metals for 3D printing, steel has the smoothest surface. Parts can be finished, for example, by welding or polishing.
