Fabrication Process and Basic Material Properties of the Basf Ultrafuse 316lx Material

Fabrication of Glass‐Ceramic 3D Micro‐Optics by Combining Laser Lithography and Calcination

“…Only a brief overview of various categories of 3D AM techniques for ceramic materials will be presented here, while more comprehensive information can be found in relevant review articles. [5][6][7] Although several 3D AM methods are routinely used for larger scale component manufacture, such as light induced polymerization based methods employing UV irradiation: Stere-oLithogrAphy (SLA), [8,9] Digital Light Proccessing (DLP), [10][11][12] deposition methods of Direct Ink Writing (DIW), [13] Ink Jet Printing (IJP), [14,15] Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM also know as Fused Filament Fabrication -FFF) [16,17] and Binder Jetting 3D Printing (BJ3DP) [18] or layered high-power laser based systems of Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) [19] and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). [20] The listed techniques are allowing typical achievable feature sizes of tenths of micrometers [21][22][23] to millimeters in dimensions.…”

Filament Extrusion-Based Additive Manufacturing of 316l Stainless Steel: Effects of Sintering Conditions on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties

“…The material shows excellent properties, both in terms of elongation at failure and tensile strength, in comparison to literature values (Fig. 6b) for other sintered 316L fabricated by fused filament fabrication of metals (FFFm) [4,11,12,[43][44][45], metal injection molding (MIM) [46][47][48], pellet extrusion (PE) [46], binder jetting (BJ) [47], and values reported for the bulk material (S) [49,50]. 316L fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) [43,44,51,52] or directed energy deposition (DED) [53] exhibits higher tensile strengths at the expense of lower ductility, due to rapid quenching of the melt.…”

Application of Functionally Graded Shell Lattice as Infill in Additive Manufacturing

“…Manufacturing constraints can depend on the specific metal FFF technology. Currently, there are some available commercial solutions; the first one is Markforged with Metal X system [45], the second one is BASF-Ultrafuse [46], the third one is Virtual Foundry [47], and the last one is Desktop Metal's Studio System [48]. In the presented project Metal X system was used to produce a design part, and consequently, the following manufacturing constraints need to be considered in the design process:…”

“…The crank arm made of 17-4 PH (version 2) stainless steel was manufactured using the Markforged Metal X system (printing time of 2d 4h) with the settings shown in Table 1. The debinding and sintering processes were done in-house with the default parameters developed by Markforged [46]. The Wash-1, a solvent-based debinding system with Opteon SF-79 liquid, was utilised to debinding the green part for 1d 8h.…”
