316L Stainless Steel (DM Shop System)

A Desktop Metal® qualified material
for the Shop System™

316L stainless steel is a fully austenitic, non-magnetic steel. The austenitic alloy contains a high percentage of nickel and chromium, thus making this steel resistant to corrosion. It is ideal for harsh environments and is characterized by its performance at both high and low temperatures and high ductility.
