Trusted Metal Filaments Developed with Forward AM

Through close collaboration, Raise3D and Forward AM optimized the Forge1 for reliable performance with Ultrafuse® 316L and Ultrafuse® 17-4 metal filaments.

By Ultrafuse® 316L and Ultrafuse® 17-4 metal filaments:

  • Forge1 printers yielded high strength green parts allow long-range delivery for the subsequent process.
  • Forge1 printed green parts are widely compatible with MIM industry, thanks to the catalytic debinding technology from BASF since 1990.

Complete MetalFuse Post-Processing Solution

In-House End-to-End Process

MetalFuse combines the Forge1, S200-C, and D200-E into a complete production workflow, enabling in-house manufacturing with maximum confidentiality and faster delivery throughout the entire process.

Cost-Efficient Print Farm

By separating printing from debinding and sintering, the MetalFuse system allows multiple Forge1 printers to share a single post-processing system. This scalable approach increases throughput by maximizing the processing capacity of the S200-C and D200-E.

Easy Shrinkage Compensation Setup

Metal FFF printing requires debinding and sintering after printing. To ensure accurate final dimensions, the software automatically applies shrinkage compensation to green parts, helping produce parts that match the intended size after post-processing.

MATERIAL
Material TypeMetals (Ultrafuse® 316L, Ultrafuse® 17-4PH)¹
Support layer material: aluminum oxide (Ultrafuse® Support Layer)²

Note:
1. Metal materials are used to print parts and supports.
2. The support layer material can’t be printed on its own and is only used for layer isolation, allowing for good separation between the support and the prints after sintering.
