Stainless Steel Alloys
Stainless Steel Alloys – Durable, Versatile Metal Powders
Corrosion-Resistant. Strong. Industry-Proven.
Stainless steel alloys are among the most versatile materials in metal additive manufacturing, known for their mechanical strength, wear resistance, and corrosion protection. Ideal for tooling, automotive components, medical devices, and industrial parts, stainless steel delivers consistent performance across functional applications.
Fully compatible with Farsoon’s LPBF systems like the FS271M, FS273M, FS721M, and FS1521M, stainless steel alloys allow for the creation of dense, complex parts with minimal post-processing.
