Steve Cox explains FDM BASF Metal 3D Printing Filaments and Processing

Our Additive Manufacturing expert Steve Cox explains BASF metal 3D Printing. Stainless Steel filaments by BASF in both 316L & 17-4PH is an ideal way to get involved in metal additive manufacturing. Together with Ultimaker makes it relatively straight forward to start 3D printing metal parts.

please share debinding and sintering cycle

[@hungrythundr4892]

The the debinder is a solution known as 3m's novec which is a non toxic industrial degreaser. The filament ins bound synthetic polymer and thus is broken down by the novec. sintering is done in chamber filled with inert gas and is heated to the part's sintering temperature. This makes the part solid but causes it to shrink. To avoid shrinkage you can place a peice of brass to flow into the part making it a composite and stopping it from shrinking. EXone, the people who make binder jetting 3d printers have a good video on the sintering process.

I have one of them printers and tbh my upgrade ender 3 prints better. huge waste of of money 😭

Yeah. U need Hardened steel nozzle for the metal powder. It will be very hot. 😳
