What your process engineer actually checks
Locked, traceable lot chemistry
Every lot ships with a COA documenting PSD, sphericity, flow rate, apparent density, and full chemistry — and a lot number you can trace. Aerospace and medical teams reorder 4+ times without re-qualifying.
Qualified parameters, not just powder
Validated parameter sets for EOS M 290, Renishaw 500Q, SLM 280, and our own AO Metal LPBF ship with the order. Load the profile and hit density on the first build — no parameter-development burn.

FAQs
What equipment do I need beyond my 3D printer?
You’ll need acetone for solvent debinding and a high-temperature furnace capable of 1350°C with argon/hydrogen atmosphere control. The Zetasinter furnace is optimized for this process.
How do the mechanical properties compare to traditional 316L?
After proper sintering, parts achieve >90% density with corrosion resistance and mechanical properties suitable for functional applications, though slightly below wrought metal due to porosity.
What are the design limitations?
Maximum printed size: 200mm (recommended: 100mm), minimum wall thickness: 1mm, minimum feature size: 1.5mm. Avoid abrupt size changes and use rounded corners.
What safety precautions are required?
Use in well-ventilated areas, wear FFP2 masks when handling, and safety glasses. The raw powder form is hazardous, but the filament is not classified as dangerous when handled properly.
Can I create food-safe or medical components?
The sintered 316L meets ASTM F138 for implant-grade biocompatibility with proper post-processing, making it suitable for medical prototypes and some food processing applications.
How long does the complete process take?
Printing varies by model. Debinding takes approximately 64 hours (chemical + thermal), and sintering requires about 30 hours including ramp times and holding.
What’s the shelf life and storage requirements?
The filament has a one-year shelf life when stored in its original vacuum-sealed packaging in cool, dry conditions.
What applications is this best suited for?
Ideal for jigs/fixtures, fluid system components, marine hardware, thermal management parts, and low-volume production where complex geometries make machining impractical.t.
Can I use supports and how are they removed?
Yes, use standard FDM support structures. They are removed during the debinding process along with the primary binder system.

Watch how Zetamix ceramic and metal filaments go from spool to dense, sintered part — the same FFF print → debind → sinter workflow we run in-house.
Choose your Zetamix material
Every Zetamix filament prints on a standard FFF 3D printer — we print and validate them in-house on our 3DCeram M.A.T. system — then debind and sinter to a dense ceramic or metal part. The highlighted row is the material on this page; compare the range below:
| Material | Type | Stands out for | Best for | From |

| Alumina | Technical ceramic | Electrical insulation, ~1550°C | Insulators, high-temp tooling | $495 |
| White Zirconia | Technical ceramic | Toughness & flexural strength | Wear & structural parts | $485 |
| Black Zirconia | Technical ceramic | Zirconia strength, black finish | Aesthetic + technical parts | $550 |
| Silicon Carbide | Technical ceramic | Extreme hardness & thermal | Abrasive / high-temp parts | $550 |
| Porcelain | Ceramic (art) | Glazeable, classic finish | Art, tableware, decorative | $225 |
| 316L | Stainless steel | Corrosion resistance, ductile | Functional metal parts | $420 |
| 17-4 PH | Stainless steel | High strength, hardenable | Tooling & functional parts | $420 |
| H13 | Tool steel | Hot hardness & wear | Dies, inserts, tooling | $420 |
| TiO2 | Specialty ceramic | Specialty technical ceramic | Niche functional parts | $550 |

Same lot 4 times in a row. We stopped re-running parameter sweeps after the second order — density was identical to the first build.

Asked about ferrite content on a Friday. A materials engineer answered Monday morning with actual data, not a sales pitch. That's why we keep ordering.

COA matches the bottle. PSD and flow are exactly what was on the sheet — we run it on a Renishaw 500Q and it hits density on the first try.
