Abstrakt: Fused filament fabrication (FFF) has emerged as a viable economical additive manufacturing technique (AM) to fabricate metallic components using low-cost desktop 3D printers via a simple 3-step printing-debinding-sintering stages. In this study, 316L stainless steel (SS) filament containing 83.5 wt.% metal loading and 16.5 wt.% PLA as the polymer binder was used as the raw material for 3D printing. The nozzle temperature is varied between 190°C and 225°C to observe the printability of the filament 316L SS and the resulting densification level of the sintered part. Sintering was performed under atmospheric condition at 1260 °C by adding sintering carbon to prevent oxidation on the 3D printed samples. Based on the results, the highest relative density obtained was 75.8% at a nozzle temperature of 200°C. Thus, this study shows that FFF is a simple, feasible and more accessible approach of AM technology to fabricate metallic parts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
