The Ultrafuse 17-4 PH filament

Easy and affordable 3D printing of metal parts

Ultrafuse 17-4 PH is a filament for the production of 17-4 stainless steel metal components on standard Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printers. This stainless steel can be fully heat treated to achieve high strength and hardness. It is therefore ideal for the petrochemical, aerospace, automotive and medical industries. Parts printed with our Ultrafuse 17-4 PH metal-polymer composite filament are given their final properties through a catalytic debinding and sintering process known from traditional metal injection molding.

Advantages of BASF Ultrafuse 17-4 PH

• Simple and inexpensive way to 3D print metal
• High mechanical strength and hardness
• Good corrosion resistance
• Fully hardened for maximum strength
• Large selection of post-processing options for green parts

Ultrafuse 17-4 PH is compatible with both Bowden and direct drive extruders.
For this material, the manufacturer recommends the Magigoo pressure bed adhesive pin for 316L (see below).

A notice: Today's filaments from BASF Ultrafuse were sold under the brand name Innofil3D until the end of 2019. The Dutch manufacturer was previously taken over by the German chemical group BASF. As part of the acquisition, the filaments were renamed and the packaging changed. The print material itself is still the same high-quality filament as before.
