Utilizing Stainless Metal Metallic 3D Printing Filament on Cheap Benchtop 3D Printers

MatterHackers Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, Mara Hitner, is joined by particular company Eric Woodridge of Somerset Neighborhood Faculty and Mark Holthaus of L3Harris in addition to moderator Robert Schoenberger for an in-depth dialogue on superior supplies and their rising presence in 3D printing, particularly BASF Ultrafuse 316L, a polymer and 316L stainless-steel composite filament that yields pure steel elements through normal FFF printer programs and case research using this additive manufacturing course of for instruments, jigs, and fixtures in each the tutorial {and professional} worlds. 

Learn the way Somerset Neighborhood Faculty is making actual stainless-steel steel components on $400 3D printers, sending them away for debinding and sintering, after which machining and welding the components at a fraction of the price of conventional strategies of fabrication.  L3Harris is saving hundreds printing 316L in-house versus utilizing service bureaus for his or her work.

The dialogue additionally contains technical info, such because the parameters and capabilities of working with this materials, together with: hotend and mattress temperatures, nozzle necessities, anisotropic shrinkage, bowden and construct floor compatibility, and extra.

Lastly, the presenters draw parallels between present different conventional manufacturing processes akin to funding casting, the occupational and security hazards related to these strategies, and the position this new expertise might play in changing standard manufacturing processes within the circumstances of speedy prototyping or small-scale industrial steel manufacturing.
