316L Description

Stainless Steel 316L 3D printing material is commonly used in applications that require extremely high corrosion resistance, excellent elongation, ductility, and strength at elevated temperatures. The high alloy and low carbon content make it a great fit for automotive, aerospace, medical, jewelry, and oil/chemical industries. Paired with HP Metal Jet’s precision and scalability, the material is suitable for low-to-high volume production runs.

Powered by HP Metal Jet

Stainless Steel 316L leverages the advanced capabilities of HP Metal Jet S100 3D printing technology. Metal Jet 3D printing offers unparalleled benefits including:

High Productivity and Scalability: Unlike MIM, Metal Jet eliminates the need for a debinding process to remove wax, saving up to 20 hours. Furthermore, Metal Jet has multiple printers and build units, enabling continuous production runs and scalability.

Exceptional Resolution: HP Metal Jet offers a print resolution of up to 1200 dpi, allowing 316L parts to achieve intricate details and fine features without sacrificing strength or mechanical performance.

Reduced Waste and Material Efficiency: HP Metal Jet minimizes material waste by utilizing nearly 100% of the powder during the printing process.

Efficient Material Usage: HP Metal Jet 316L parts meet or exceed the mechanical properties of metal injection molding (MIM) parts, with ultimate tensile strengths of up to 1277 MPa and hardness ratings reaching 40 HRC.
