316L stainless steel is a weldable material that is extremely corrosion resistant, which makes it ideal for applications that will experience harsh environments. With excellent biocompatibility, high wear resistance and near wrought part density(98%), 3DEO’s stainless steel 3D printed components enable customers to produce quality components across a variety of industries and applications. 316L stainless steel is sometimes known as marine grade stainless steel or A4 stainless steel.
