EOS M290 SS316 Build Plate | 50mm Corrosion-Resistant LPBF Platform
Request a custom quote — we manufacture precision build plates for most metal AM systems.
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.
A materials engineer on the line
Questions on ferrite content, flowability, recyclate ratios, or HIP response? A materials engineer answers directly — not a contact-form bot. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.
The EOS M290 SS316 Build Plate is a corrosion-resistant stainless steel platform engineered for stable and repeatable LPBF metal printing. Designed for EOS M280 and M290 systems, it provides enhanced durability in reactive, humid, or chemically challenging production environments.
Manufactured from premium 316 stainless steel, this metal build plate is CNC machined, stress-relieved, and precision-ground to tight flatness tolerances. The optimized 50mm thickness reduces thermal mass while maintaining structural rigidity, enabling faster heat-up and cool-down cycles without compromising build stability.
Compared to SS304 platforms, the EOS M290 SS316 Build Plate offers superior resistance to pitting and chemical exposure. This makes it particularly suitable for facilities working with reactive powders, specialized alloys, or in high-humidity environments.
Engineered for seamless integration with EOS clamping and recoater systems, this 316 stainless steel build plate ensures consistent powder spreading, stable first-layer fusion, and reliable production performance.
Key highlights
- Premium 316 Stainless Steel:
Offers superior chemical and corrosion resistance compared to 304 stainless steel, ideal for steel, aluminum, and titanium builds or working with reactive metal powders. - Optimized 50mm Thickness:
Reduces thermal mass for faster heat-up and cool-down cycles, improving production efficiency while maintaining thermal stability for consistent results. - Precision-Ground Surface:
Ensures exceptional flatness across the 3D printer build plate, providing reliable first-layer adhesion and minimizing print failures. - Dual System Compatibility:
Certified for both EOS M280 and M290 systems, simplifying inventory management and offering operational flexibility. - Enhanced Durability:
Corrosion-resistant SS316 construction extends service life in humid or chemically challenging production environments.
Benefits:
- Superior Chemical Resistance: Performs reliably with reactive powders and in demanding conditions.
- Extended Service Life: Resists pitting and corrosion for long-term use.
- Versatile Application Range: Suitable for medical, marine, chemical, and industrial applications.
- Production Reliability: Ensures consistent prints in challenging manufacturing environments.
- Medical Device Manufacturing: Components needing enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Research & Development: Experiments with reactive or specialized metal powders.

From process engineers running EOS M290 SS316 Build Plate | 50mm Corrosion-Resistant LPBF Platform
Unedited feedback from customers who reorder EOS M290 SS316 Build Plate | 50mm Corrosion-Resistant LPBF Platform.
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.
