BASF Ultrafuse

 BASF Ultrafuse 316LX is really an amazing feat of technology, and it is available in either 1.75mm or 2.85mm so it can be used with any 3D printer on the market, as far as diameter is concerned. It is a metal-polymer composite used to make parts that are austenitic stainless steel type 316L that can easily be extruded at 235C (455F). Because it is a metal-polymer composite, to get a fully metal part you must get the part sintered.  When printing with BASF Ultrafuse the parts should be printed bigger in the X/Y direction by about 19%, and about 21% in the Z direction so that when the plastic gets taken out during the sintering process it is the correct size.
