EOS M290 SS316 Build Plate | 50mm Corrosion-Resistant LPBF Platform
- ✓ 316L — stronger pitting and chemical resistance than 304 stainless
- ✓ Precision-ground flatness for consistent first-layer adhesion
- ✓ Made to order — choose your speed below: Express 2–3 wks, or Standard 6–8 wks (save ~45%)
What your process engineer actually checks
Flatness that survives repeated rebuilds
CNC-machined 316L stainless, stress-relieved and precision-ground. The 50mm profile leaves enough material to reface and re-flatten the plate across multiple build cycles before it needs replacing.

The EOS M290 SS316 Build Plate is a precision-machined 316L stainless steel platform for EOS M280 and M290 laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) systems. Its 9.92×9.92×1.97 in / 252×252×50 mm profile is stress-relieved and ground flat for repeatable first-layer adhesion across stainless steel, tool steel and other ferrous alloy builds.
Why process engineers choose this plate
Spec-backed reasons to run SS316 over a stock 304 or worn plate.
Better corrosion resistance than 304
316L adds molybdenum over 304 stainless for stronger resistance to pitting and chloride attack — useful in humid shops or when plates see cleaning chemicals between builds.
Ground flat for consistent first layers
CNC-machined and precision-ground to a tight flatness tolerance so the first fused layer bonds evenly across the full 252×252 mm platform — fewer recoater collisions, fewer failed builds.
50 mm profile, more regrind life
A thicker starting plate leaves more material to face off and re-flatten after each build cycle before it has to be retired — more usable life than a thin, single-use plate.
Fits both M280 and M290
One SKU covers both platforms, so a shop running mixed M280/M290 fleets doesn’t need to stock two separate build-plate part numbers.
How we get it to your build chamber
Every plate ships as a finished, inspected platform — not raw stock.
Machine to EOS spec
Each plate is CNC-machined from certified 316L stainless stock to the EOS M280/M290 clamping and recoater mounting pattern.
Stress-relieve & grind
Every plate is stress-relieved, then precision-ground to flatness tolerance before it ships — no field-lapping required on install.
Inspect & ship
Flatness is checked on the finished plate. Express ships in 2–3 weeks; Standard in 6–8 weeks at about 45% lower cost — contact us to confirm current turnaround.
Material compatibility & technical specifications
This plate is matched to stainless steel, tool steel and other ferrous LPBF processes on the EOS M280 and M290 — the same alloy family as the plate itself, which keeps chemistry consistent between plate and part. Full dimensions and attributes are in the Specifications tab.
- Stainless steels: 316L, 17-4PH
- Tool steels: H13, D2
- Other ferrous alloys qualified on EOS M280/M290 systems
Running titanium or aluminum instead? Use a dedicated Ti64 or aluminum build plate rather than this stainless plate. Reactive metals are best kept on a matched plate to avoid iron pickup into the melt pool and to keep material certification clean — see the EOS M280/M290 Ti64 Build Plate in the alternatives below.
