With Ultrafuse 316L, BASF 3D Printing Solutions launches a metal-polymer composite for fused filament fabrication (FFF). It enables the safe, simple, and cost-efficient production of fully metal parts for prototypes, metal tooling and functional metal parts in 3D printing, according to the company. After the subsequent industry-standard debinding and sintering, the final 3D printed part is 316L stainless steel. FFF refers to a 3D printing process in which parts are built up layer by layer from moldable material. Ultrafuse 316L, a metal filament with polymer content, uses the same process; first, a suitable 3D printer builds a part layer-by-layer, with…

…solution for production 3D manufacturing. The printing system counts BASF, Materialise and Siemens as strategic partners, creating what HP calls “a new global community of proven large-scale 3D printed parts providers.” The printer is the latest refinement of HP’s work in Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) printing technology, which prints on a line-by-line basis. HP says the method is inspired by its long history of 2D wide format printing, but relies on a variety of innovations for 3D. HP says MJF allows for faster cooling and increased automation of post-processing compared to selective laser sintering (SLS). MJF allows almost 90% of…
