CeraFila SUS316L stainless steel filament added to UltiMaker Marketplace
Dai-ichi Ceramo Co Ltd, based in Shiga, Japan, has joined the UltiMaker Marketplace, making its CeraFila SUS316L stainless steel filament available to those wishing to build metal parts.
Adding CeraFila SUS316L will enable users of the UltiMaker S series Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) Material Extrusion (MEX) Additive Manufacturing machines to produce metal parts as they would with any other standard polymer filament.

Dai-ichi Ceramo’s CeraFila SUS316L stainless steel is composed of polymer binders with a high content of metal powder. After the Additive Manufacturing stage, high-density sintered parts are produced following a thermal debinding and sintering process. The compact VHS-CUBE vacuum furnace from Japan’s Shimadzu Industrial Systems Co Ltd, was recommended for this stage.
The VHS-CUBE is reported to enable students and researchers without any specialised knowledge to perform the debinding and sintering processes required after FFF metal Additive Manufacturing. With a clear workflow that does not require complicated setup, the compact machine can be installed in university and corporate laboratories.
