- Holland Company has added Ultrafuse®316L, a metal filament from BASF 3D Printing Solutions to its portfolio of 3D printing products and services.
Unveiled last year, Ultrafuse® 316L is a metal- polymer composite for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is designed for cost-efficient production of fully metal parts.
Plastic injection molders and OEMs can print solid metal parts on a desktop 3D printer for applications including tooling, jigs and fixtures, series production, functional parts and prototypes. The stainless-steel composite filament delivers high flexibility and enables series production of 3D printed industrial-grade metal parts.
The distributor of thermoplastic resins including is delighted to be among the select organizations authorized to distribute Ultrafuse® 316L. For Haleyanne Freedman, market manager, 3D Printing at M. Holland, “this metal polymer composite filament is a groundbreaking and industry-changing product that is also cost-effective. Our clients can leverage this distinct material to complement existing plastic injection molding opportunities and a wide array of other applications.”
This distribution arrangement follows a prior agreement with BASF, and enhances a growing portfolio of additive manufacturing materials from suppliers Henkel, Owens Corning and 3DXTech. The company is also focused on how ancillary materials can complement its already extensive portfolio of materials and services, including consulting support, prototyping and equipment selection.
“By expanding our distribution partnership with M. Holland to now include our Ultrafuse® 316L metal filament for additive manufacturing, we are able to make the printing of metal parts more accessible and affordable to manufacturers,” said Firat Hizal, head of metal systems, BASF 3D Printing Solutions. “As we expand our presence in North America, customers can quickly and reliably create stainless steel parts, utilizing their existing printers and an established debinding and sintering network.”
