What is the 3D printing process for this material?

  17-4PH Stainless Steel is 3D printed utilizing the Markforged Metal X 3D metal printer. By printing metal powder bound in a plastic matrix, Markforged has become the first company to eliminate the safety risks associated with traditional metal 3D printers.  Once the 17-4PH stainless steel part has been printed it is “washed” in a washing station which removes some of the binder found in the printing filament.  From the wash the part is fired in the sintering furnace where the last remaining binder is burned away and the metal part is fused together.


How long will it take before I receive my part in this material?

    Production times vary depending on machine availability, but generally 17-4PH Stainless Steel 3D parts are printed and shipped within one to two weeks.
