What your process engineer actually checks
Green part to fully dense, predictably
Every spool ships with a datasheet and validated debind/sinter parameters, so green parts reach target density with predictable shrinkage. Lock the cycle once, reorder the same feedstock.
A materials engineer on the line
Questions on debind schedules, sinter shrinkage, density, or warpage on bound-metal/ceramic FFF? A materials engineer answers directly — not a contact-form bot. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.
Zetamix 316L stainless steel filament lets you 3D-print functional 316L parts on a standard FFF printer, then debind and sinter to a dense, corrosion-resistant metal component — the same print → debind → sinter workflow we run in-house on our 3DCeram M.A.T.

Why engineers choose Zetamix 316L Stainless Steel filament
Authentic 316L stainless steel from a standard FFF printer — ductile, tough and corrosion-resistant after sintering.
Real 316L stainless steel — roughly 92% metal by mass in the filament, sintered to a dense metal part with genuine 316L chemistry.
Resists acids, chlorides and saline environments — for fluid-system parts and components that run in aggressive conditions.
Metal, not brittle ceramic — 316L takes load, bends and absorbs impact where technical ceramics would crack.
Known shrinkage and a defined debind and sinter cycle give predictable, repeatable parts from one print run to the next.
316L stainless steel material properties after sintering
- Composition: authentic 316L stainless steel (~92% metal by mass in the filament)
- Density after sintering: >90% of theoretical
- Corrosion resistance: acids, chlorides and saline environments
- Mechanical character: ductile and tough — metal, not brittle ceramic
- Linear scale for sintering: 118.2% (X/Y) & 117.2% (Z)
- Filament: 1.75 mm
Full specifications are listed in the Specifications tab. Mechanical values are process-dependent — final properties vary with print, debind and sinter parameters.
From spool to dense 316L part
Three stages — the same workflow we run in-house.
Design & scale
Scale the model by 118.2% (X/Y) and 117.2% (Z) for sintering shrinkage. Minimum wall 1 mm, minimum hole 1.5 mm, minimum pin 3 mm, overhangs up to 35° unsupported.
Print on FFF
Print the green part on any standard FFF machine with a grooved drive gear and flexible build plate. Hold a consistent extrusion around 120–130 °C, 3 wall layers minimum.
Debind & sinter
Chemical debind 24 h in acetone at 40 °C, thermal debind at 10 °C/h from 50 to 650 °C in Ar/H₂, then sinter at 50 °C/h to 1350 °C with a 2 h hold in a controlled atmosphere. No furnace? We run this for you.
Where 316L stainless steel is used
Shops 3D-print 316L with Zetamix when they need functional, corrosion-resistant metal parts without machining or tooling.

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:
