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 on request.
Zetamix H13 tool steel filament lets you 3D-print hot-work tool steel (X40CrMoV5-1) on a standard FFF printer, then debind and sinter to a dense metal tooling part — the same print → debind → sinter workflow we run in-house on our 3DCeram M.A.T. It holds strength and hardness at elevated temperature, so you can print dies, inserts and mould components with conformal cooling that machining can’t reach.
Why engineers choose Zetamix H13 Tool Steel filament
Hot-work tool steel (X40CrMoV5-1) printed on FFF and sintered to a dense metal part — tooling geometry without the machining lead time.
X40CrMoV5-1 (H13) maintains strength and hardness at elevated temperature — built for dies, inserts and hot-work tooling.
Print internal cooling channels and mould features that subtractive machining cannot produce, directly on a standard FFF printer.
High ductility gives impact resistance and reduces the risk of brittle fracture in loaded tooling components.
Sinter to 90–91% density for near-wrought performance and print replacement tooling on demand instead of re-machining.
H13 tool steel properties after sintering
- Composition: X40CrMoV5-1 hot-work tool steel (~90% steel by mass)
- Density after sintering: 90–91% of theoretical
- Temperature behaviour: maintains strength and hardness at elevated temperature
- Ductility: high — impact resistance for loaded tooling
- Sintering scale: 118.2% (X/Y) and 119.6% (Z) to compensate shrinkage
- 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 H13 tooling part
Three stages — the same workflow we run in-house.
Design & scale
Scale the model 118.2% (X/Y) and 119.6% (Z) for sintering shrinkage. Max printed size 200 mm (100 mm recommended). Minimum wall 1 mm, pin 3 mm, hole 1.5 mm, overhang ≥35°.
Print on FFF
Print the green part on any standard FFF machine with grooved drive gears. Keep ambient below 25 °C, no retraction, 3 wall layers, 100% fan from layer 2, 20–100% infill.
Debind & sinter
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 H13 tool steel is used
Engineers print H13 when they need hot-work tool steel geometry — and cooling — that machining can’t deliver on time.

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:
