Metal 3D printing

Just saw this… If only we had a kiln.

https://www.ultrafusefff.com/product/ultrafuse-316l-metal-filament-2-85mm-3kg/

a small one is on the list for metalwork, and we’ll might get lucky…

The manufacturer suggests a Nitric Acid debind and inert atmosphere sinter but that would be fun to try!

I don’t get how it’s possible to melt steel at 200 odds degree…

Or are we going to use a furnace instead of the current head in the 3d printer?

You print it at 230+ with a plastic/wax binder then debind it, then sinter at a much higher temp.

Still don’t get the magic but let’s try… Can i 3dprint my new souce pan?

HNO3 is a bit aggressive, but with enough care it can be used, but we’ll need a poison permit for it. inert atmospere is doable, we can flood the kiln with co2, not too gas cost effective but simple.
@Federico it’s similar like silver clay, but you don’t have to soak it in acid, just dry and bake in a kiln.
