M300 Tool Steel Filamet™ gives you hard, wear-resistant tool-grade steel parts from an open-architecture FFF/FDM printer, in shapes that normally need expensive machining or casting. It prints like PLA and sinters to 90–95% of solid M300 density.

Specifications

  • Metal content: 85.0%–88.0% M300 tool steel
  • Filament density: 3.50–3.65 g/cc
  • Formats: 1.75mm and 2.85mm spools, and pellets (pick in the variant selector)
  • Nozzle: 0.6mm hardened steel, standard flow

Printing

  • Prints similar to PLA with minimal to no warping
  • Feed the filament straight into the extruder
  • Do not dry it: drying degrades the binder

Sintering

M300 parts cannot be handled in their brown (debound) state. Take extra care during debinding and follow The Virtual Foundry's debinding and sintering guide. Use a crucible rated for M300, such as the Refractory Cement Crucible, and a kiln such as the FireX, with Sintering Carbon.

Applications

  • Tool and die components, punches and inserts
  • Injection mold tooling and conformal-cooled inserts
  • Wear-resistant parts and bushings
  • Functional prototypes needing high hardness

About this product

Will it print on my printer?
Filamet works on nearly all open-architecture FFF/FDM printers. Swap in a hardened steel nozzle (the size is in the specifications above) and print it like PLA. Not sure about your model? Email us the printer name and we'll check before you buy.
Can I handle M300 parts before sintering?
No. Unlike most Filamet materials, M300 parts cannot be handled in the brown (debound) state. Take extra care during debinding and follow The Virtual Foundry's guide closely.
How dense is sintered M300?
90-95% of solid M300 tool steel density: a functional, high-hardness metal part.
Should I dry it before printing?
No. Filamet is less hygroscopic than PLA, and drying degrades its binder, so keep it out of filament dryers. Feed it straight into the extruder.
