Key Features
17-4 PH stainless steel-based metal filament
Enables production of high-strength metal components
Suitable for complex and functional geometries
Compatible with standard FFF 3D printers
Supports debinding and sintering workflows
Designed for professional and industrial use.
Metal components made via FFF 3D printing
Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH Metal allows users to produce true metal parts using filament-based 3D printing. The filament consists of stainless steel powder embedded in a polymer binder, enabling easy printing on conventional FFF systems prior to post-processing.
High mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
Made from precipitation-hardened 17-4 PH stainless steel, the final sintered parts offer an excellent balance of strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. This makes the material particularly suitable for demanding functional applications where mechanical performance and durability are critical.
Suitable for complex and functional components
The filament-based process enables the production of complex shapes, internal channels, and customized designs that are difficult or costly to achieve with traditional metal manufacturing methods. Typical applications include tooling, fixtures, brackets, and mechanical components.
Professional workflow with debinding and sintering.
After printing, the parts undergo a debinding and sintering process to remove the binder and densify the metal. This established post-processing workflow results in solid stainless steel components with predictable material properties, making Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH Metal a reliable solution for industrial manufacturing and prototyping.
