About this product
Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH is 3DCeram’s bound-metal FFF feedstock — 1.75mm filament loaded with 17-4PH stainless steel powder for the M.A.T. multi-head extrusion printer. Print the green part on a standard FFF head, then debind and sinter to a dense, precipitation-hardenable metal component.
Why engineers choose Fila-MAT 17-4PH
Four things a process engineer checks before qualifying a bound-metal feedstock.
680 MPa yield, 880 MPa tensile
Rp0.2 680 MPa / Rm 880 MPa post-sinter, tested to DIN EN ISO 6892 — precipitation-hardenable 17-4PH performance, not a filament-vendor estimate.
257 HV10 hardness
Vickers hardness tested to DIN EN ISO 6507-1. Density 7.6 g/cc, elongation at break 5.8%.
Tested at ESA’s ESTEC facility
Mechanical data measured with calibrated equipment at the European Space Agency’s technology centre in the Netherlands — third-party test conditions.
Debind & sinter parameters included
Every spool ships with 3DCeram’s datasheet and process parameters for the M.A.T. FFF head, so green parts reach target density predictably.
How the Fila-MAT workflow runs
Print, debind, sinter — the same three-step process behind every bound-metal FFF part.
Step 01
Print on the M.A.T. FFF head
1.75mm feedstock runs on 3DCeram’s M.A.T. printer — max nozzle 270°C, max bed 110°C, with heated filament and print chambers for consistent extrusion.
Step 02
Debind the binder
Binder-removal parameters ship with every spool’s datasheet, tuned for the 17-4PH feedstock — no trial-and-error on the first batch.
Step 03
Sinter to dense metal
High-temperature sintering consolidates the part to dense 17-4PH — ready for precipitation-hardening heat treatment to reach full strength.

What is Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH and how does it produce metal parts?
Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH is a 3DCeram bound-metal feedstock — a 1.75mm filament loaded with 17-4PH stainless steel powder held in a polymer binder. You print a green part on the 3DCeram M.A.T. FFF head like any thermoplastic, then remove the binder (debinding) and sinter the part in a furnace to consolidate the steel into a dense, precipitation-hardenable component. The result is a functional 17-4PH metal part made on an extrusion printer, without a laser powder-bed system. Every spool ships with the debind and sinter parameters so the first build reaches target density predictably.
Which printer is Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH compatible with?
Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH is qualified for the 3DCeram M.A.T. multi-additive printer running its FFF extrusion head. The M.A.T. drives a maximum nozzle temperature of 270°C and a maximum bed temperature of 110°C, with heated filament and print chambers that keep the highly filled feedstock extruding consistently. It is matched to that machine rather than sold as a generic 1.75mm filament, which is why the print, debind and sinter parameters ship together. If you do not run an M.A.T. yet, Additive Plus can quote the printer alongside the feedstock so the whole workflow is validated from one supplier.
What post-processing does Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH require?
Like every bound-metal FFF material, Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH needs two steps after printing: debinding and sintering. Debinding removes the polymer binder from the green part, and high-temperature sintering fuses the remaining 17-4PH powder into dense metal. After sintering, the part can receive a standard 17-4PH precipitation-hardening heat treatment to reach full strength. The debind and sinter parameters are supplied on the datasheet with every order, so you are not guessing cycle times or temperatures. Additive Plus can also advise on debinding and sintering equipment if you do not already run a furnace suited to the alloy.
What mechanical properties can I expect after sintering?
After sintering, Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH reaches roughly 7.6 g/cc density, 680 MPa yield strength (Rp0.2), 880 MPa ultimate tensile strength (Rm), 5.8% elongation at break and 257 HV10 Vickers hardness. Those figures were measured with calibrated equipment at the European Space Agency's ESTEC technology centre in the Netherlands and tested to DIN EN ISO 6892 for tensile and DIN EN ISO 6507-1 for hardness — third-party conditions rather than a filament-vendor estimate. Exact values depend on your debind, sinter and heat-treatment cycle; the full datasheet ships with every spool of Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH.
How much does a Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH part shrink during debinding and sintering?
Bound-metal parts shrink as the binder is removed and the metal densifies during sintering, so a green part is printed larger than the final dimension and scales down predictably. The exact linear shrinkage for Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH is defined in the 3DCeram datasheet supplied with every spool and is applied in the recommended slicer profile, so your CAD dimensions map to the finished part. Because shrinkage stays consistent when you follow the supplied cycle, repeat parts hold tolerance. A materials engineer at Additive Plus can walk through the shrinkage factor for your specific geometry before you commit to a production run.
Does Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH need to be dried before printing?
Yes. Like most highly filled engineering filaments, Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH prints best kept dry, because absorbed moisture can cause inconsistent extrusion and surface defects in the green part. Store the spool sealed with desiccant and dry it per the datasheet guidance before a long build. The 3DCeram M.A.T. also holds the filament chamber at a controlled temperature to keep the feedstock stable during printing. Following the supplied handling and drying guidance protects green-part quality, which in turn protects the density and mechanical properties you get after debinding and sintering.
Can Additive Plus help qualify Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH for my parts?
Yes. Every order of Fila-MAT Metal 17-4PH ships with 3DCeram's datasheet and the print, debind and sinter parameters, and a materials engineer at Additive Plus covers the questions those documents do not — shrinkage for a specific geometry, warpage on thin sections, or the heat-treatment route to a target hardness. We work under a mutual NDA before any spec review and typically reply in under four hours. If you need an alloy or ceramic feedstock that is not in the standard Fila-MAT range, we can source and qualify custom feedstock on request, usually within three to four weeks.
