Excellent corrosion resistance
316L Stainless Steel is trusted across manufacturing industries for its ability to resist corrosion in harsh environments while maintaining good strength and toughness. It performs exceptionally well in applications exposed to chemicals, moisture, saltwater, and cleaning agents.
With the Markforged FX10 metal 3D printing platform, manufacturers can produce complex metal parts faster and more affordably than traditional methods.
Why choose 316L Stainless Steel for metal 3D printing?
Corrosion Resistance
316L offers superior resistance to corrosion compared to many standard stainless steels, making it ideal for marine, chemical processing, and food-safe environments.
Tough & Ductile
Unlike harder precipitation-hardening steels, 316L provides excellent toughness and ductility, making it suitable for functional components that require impact resistance and reliability.
Machineable & Polishable
Printed parts can be machined, polished, and post-processed to achieve the required tolerances and surface finishes.
Complex Metal Parts Made Simple
Produce intricate geometries, internal channels, and consolidated assemblies that would be difficult or expensive to manufacture conventionally.
Compatible with our FX10 system.
