SS 316L

  • SLM
  • Chemical resistance
  • Metal
  • Temperature resistance
  • UV resistance

SS 316L (316L stainless steel) is one of the most popular materials used in powder 3D printing (e.g. SLM/DMLS). It features excellent corrosion resistance and very good mechanical strength. As a result, it is widely used in the medical industry, food industry, chemical industry and many other industries requiring a combination of durability, corrosion resistance and adequate strength parameters.

Key features of SS 316L:

  • High corrosion resistance – ideal for chemically aggressive environments, exposure to moisture and food contact.

  • Excellent mechanical strength – ensures the durability of the components even under heavy loads.

  • Biocompatibility – often used in medicine (including surgical instruments, implants) due to its compatibility with tissues and high resistance to body fluids.

  • Good weldability and machinability – after 3D printing, parts can be further machined, welded or polished to suit specific needs.

  • Dimensional stability – allows precise reproduction of complex geometries in the additive process.

  • Versatile applications – thanks to its properties, SS 316L is used in many sectors: medicine, chemical, food, aerospace, energy and others.
