From manufacturing to metal part: A three-step process

The path to your finished metal part consists of three simple steps: First, the component is produced using FFF 3D printing. Then the debinding process takes place, during which the polymer is removed from the part. In the final step, the part is sintered, causing the metal particles to fuse and form a solid, durable metal part. This process, combined with BASF's outstanding quality assurance, guarantees you consistent results and consistently high quality with every batch.
