Engineered materials company Uniformity Labs (Uniformity) makes available its UniFuse 316L ultra-low porosity stainless steel powder. The UniFuse 316L powder and optimized print processes have been used to create various parts in various industries.
Uniformity Labs UniFuse 316L 90um 400W Performance is developed by an in-house team of materials scientists and 3D printing innovators. Uniformity Labs UniFuse 316L ultra-low porosity powder and High-Performance Scanning (HPS) achieve fast build times. This throughput improvement is typical for UniFuse 316L builds.
Higher bed and tap densities enable Uniformity powders to deliver improved mechanical properties and consistent performance across the build bed, even at high-speed build rates and thicker layer printing, according to the company.
316L stainless steel is made for demanding environments and applications, such as parts exposed to marine, pharmaceutical, or petrochemical processing, food preparation equipment, medical devices, surgical tooling, and consumer products such as jewelry, the company reports. It is known for its corrosion resistance, high flexibility, and mechanical properties at extreme temperatures.
“Our powders deliver superior mechanical properties, surface finish, printing yield, and part reliability, and allow one machine to do the work of several,” says Uniformity founder and CEO Adam Hopkins.
