桌面金属宣布已有资格使用316L不锈钢用于商店系统，该系统是一种用于机械车间设计的金属粘合剂喷射系统。借助扩展的材料投资组合，用户现在可以利用活页夹喷射技术在316升不锈钢中打印最终用途零件。
Known for its corrosion resistance, high ductility, and excellent mechanical properties at extreme temperatures, 316L is an austenitic stainless steel suited for demanding environments and applications, such as parts exposed to marine, pharmaceutical, or petrochemical processing, food preparation equipment, medical devices, surgical tooling, and consumer products such as jewelry.
316L不锈钢 - 关键应用
台式金属材料科学团队已验证，使用商店系统打印和烧结的316升不锈钢符合MPIF 35 Metal Powder Industries Federation设定的标准。
关键用例的示例包括：
• Bulb nozzle
Custom spray nozzles are often used in chemical processing. With conventional manufacturing methods, such nozzles would typically be cast followed by extensive secondary machining on a five-axis CNC. 316L is an essential material for this part because of its excellent material properties, even at elevated working temperatures and while spraying corrosive fluids. 3D printing in 316L on the Shop System can produce the entire order of several hundred nozzles in less than a week with one secondary thread-tapping operation required, reducing lead times and manufacturing process complexity.
• Medical device closure
Assembly closures can be used to latch and hold medical device components in place. CNC machining these closures would be challenging given the miniscule, precise geometries, while metal injection molding (MIM) would require large investments and lead times for tooling, difficult to justify given the mid-volume requirements for the component. The Shop System can print up to 10,000 medical device closures in a week, without any tooling costs and without the extensive labor costs and time that machining would require. 316L is an ideal material for medical components such as this closure, because of its corrosion resistance, which makes it easy to clean and sterilize.
• Watch bezel
A bezel is the main component that houses the dial and movement within a watch. With the Shop System, multiple different watch bezel models can be printed in each build, enabling mass customization with no tooling required and minimal lead times. For consumer products applications such as this bezel, 316L allows corrosion resistance while maintaining the high strength.
The Shop System
该商店系统采用单个通行证印刷引擎，提供了一个交钥匙解决方案，用于生产复杂的，最终使用的金属快速且负担得起。该商店系统包括从烧结到打印的所有设备机店都需要开始粘合剂喷射，并且旨在通过一系列构建体积配置来扩展吞吐量。此外，桌面金属软件用于构建准备和烧结模拟，结合金属粉末和优化的工艺参数，以提供出色的零件质量和可重复性，使企业可以轻松地在几天或几个月内使用粘合剂飞机来启动和运行。
Other key Shop System benefits include:
• Easy to use and operate. The Shop System produces parts at the push of a button through its easy-to-use software interface. It features engineered powders and default processing parameters optimized to deliver quality and ensure repeatability without the need for extensive third party materials qualification or process development. The use of software-generated hand-removable sintering setters eliminates the need for costly and labor-intensive post-processing steps.
• High productivity and superior print quality. Featuring variable build sizes up to 16L and a high-speed, single pass print carriage, the Shop System produces end-use metal parts up to 10 times the speed and at a fraction of the cost of legacy additive manufacturing technologies, amplifying existing output with up to hundreds of complex metal parts printed per day, with mechanical properties exceeding industry standards. With speeds up to 800 cc/hour, the Shop System enables batches of tens or hundreds of complex printed parts in as little as five hours.
•丰富的特征细节，表面表面表面表面卓越。企业可以从炉子中打印出具有精细特征细节和表面饰面的密集，复杂的金属零件，表面饰面均高达四微米粗糙度（RA）。商店系统使用单个通行证Printhead（1600本机DPI）提供了400％的传统粘合剂喷射系统的分辨率。可靠的打印质量由打印头的5倍喷嘴冗余启用 - 比可比的粘合剂喷射系统高25％。
该商店系统还支持17-4PH不锈钢和铬钴。广泛的其他材料投资组合正在积极的研发中，并计划于今年推出其他发行版。
