BASF Ultrafuse 316L
Ultrafuse 316L combines greater freedom of design with a low total cost of ownership. 3D-printed parts acquire their final properties, for example in terms of hardness and strength, through a debinding and sintering process developed by BASF, which has emerged as the industry standard. As a filament, Ultrafuse 316 L is 80% stainless steel and has a 20% polymer content which allows for easy printing on many open FFF desktop printers.
Highlights:
- Easy and affordable metal 3D printing
- Fast material exchange and easy handling
- For all open source FFF printers
- Produces parts of stainless-steel 316L metal
- Uniform particle distribution enhances mechanical properties
- High flexibility of filament enables successful printing in any FFF printers
- Compatible with both Bowden and direct drive extruders
Ultrafuse 316L
Designed for ultimate ease of handling on conventional Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printers. Ultrafuse 316L is an innovative filament for the production of 316L-grade steel parts. As a filament, Ultrafuse 316 L is 80% stainless steel and has a 20% polymer content which allows for easy printing on many open FFF desktop printers.
Examples of applications using Ultrafuse 316L:
- Tooling
- Jigs and fixtures
- Series production
- Functional parts and prototypes

In a 3 step process of FFF printing, debinding and sintering you will create a full metal part.
BASF Quality Control
The best raw materials available is selected from renowned suppliers. Production on state-of-the-art computer-controlled machinery guarantees a truly consistent filament, also between colors and batches. It will perform as expected every time.
All BASF products are 100% traceable to the source.
