About this product
The SLM 280 SS316 Build Platform is engineered for additive manufacturing environments where corrosion resistance, durability, and dimensional stability are critical. Produced from premium 316 stainless steel, this SLM 280 metal build plate SS316 offers improved resistance to chemical exposure and reactive materials compared to standard 304 grades.
Its 76.2 mm (3-inch) thickness provides substantial thermal mass, stabilizing heat distribution during high-temperature LPBF cycles. This reduces distortion, internal stress, and part warping — especially important for complex or high-density geometries.
Precision machining ensures exceptional flatness across the entire surface, supporting uniform powder spreading and consistent first-layer fusion. Designed as a direct OEM-compatible stainless steel 316 build plate for SLM 280, it installs seamlessly without recalibration or modification.
Each SLM 280 SS316 Build Platform is inspected, cleaned, and delivered production-ready to maximize operational uptime.
