Tips for Choosing Right Stainless Steel In 3D Printing

Selecting the right stainless steel for 3D printing depends on corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and specific application requirements. Choose from grades like SUS316L for medical and marine applications or SUS630/17-4 PH for high-performance parts. Consider printing parameters, post-processing, and the desired surface finish to make an informed decision.
