3D Metal Printing Process

Create true metal parts with a process that's straightforward, accessible, and designed for makers.
1

Print

Use your standard FDM 3D printer with The Virtual Foundry's metal Filament™.

2

Debind

Remove the polymer binder from the printed part.

3

Sinter

Heat the part in a kiln until the metal particles fuse into a dense, solid metal piece.

Turn Your Prints Into Metal

With The Virtual Foundry Filament™ , you can print just like standard PLA—then debind and sinter to transform your parts into real metal. Choose from bronze, copper, or stainless steel and unlock new possibilities for art, prototyping, or functional components. Compatible with most FDM printers, including Bambu Lab, Creality, and Prusa, these filaments make metal printing more accessible than ever.
