What Is Metal Filament?
Metal filaments are composite 3D printing materials containing metal powders (stainless steel, copper, aluminum) in a polymer binder, extruded through standard FDM printers. Post-printing sintering removes binder for dense metal parts. Key advantages include design flexibility, reduced waste, and accessibility versus direct metal printing. Globally, they bridge prototyping and production, with trends toward hybrid (metal-ceramic/carbon fiber) for enhanced properties.
