About Stainless Steel 316L – 3D Printing Material
Stainless Steel 316L is popular for use in many industrial applications. It is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and superior tensile strength at higher temperatures. This material is silver in color, this material features a granular finish that can be polished.
Stainless Steel 316L is manufactured using Binder Jetting Technology (BJT) from Desktop Metal on a Shop System. Unlike our Steel offering that is infused with bronze, this material is a single alloy, 100% Stainless Steel.

Design Guidelines
Bounding Box
Bounding Box Max
155 × 155 × 76.2 mm
Bounding Box Min
10 × 7.5 × 1.0 mm
The bounding box is a 3D imaginary outline of a box that encloses the smallest area occupied by your model. Your model must be within the minimum and maximum bounding box sizes. If the size of the model is close to the maximum bounding box, then the printing orientation will be restricted.
Walls
Supported Wall Thickness Min
Longest Dimension = Minimum wall thickness3 to 50 mm = 1.0 mm
50 to 80 mm = 1.5 mm
80 to 155 mm = 2.0 mm

Details
Details Min Embossed
1.0 mm high & wide
Details Min Engraved
1.0 mm deep & wide
Escape Holes
Single Escape Hole Diameter (Min)
5.0 mm
Multiple Escape Hole Diameter (Min)
2.54 mm
A single escape hole at the end of a cavity will not allow material in the corners near the escape hole to fully escape. So we recommend multiple escape holes at both ends of the cavity.
Clearance
Min
0.3 mm
