Cost-effective Metal Printing
Made Possible
MetalFuse offers a complete solution, consisting of an indirect metal 3D printing process, paired with a special edition of ideaMaker compatible with MIM equipment.
With this solution, MetalFuse’s advantages include low overhead costs and the ability to perform batch production. MetalFuse saves more energy and is more environmentally friendly when compared to processes such as CNC and SLM (Selective Laser Melting).
New Tecnology, A Leap in Efficiency
MetalFuse utilizes the Catalytic Debinding process, which leads to 60% off in processing time, and an increase of the part’s density to up to 97% of wrought iron’s density.

High-End Metal Filament by BASF
By using BASF Forward AM's metal filaments Ultrafuse 316L and Ultrafuse 17-4 PH, MetalFuse is capable of better printing repeatability and a greater yield rate.
Supported Materials
The Forge1 3D printer enables printing from BASF Forward AM's Ultrafuse® Metal materials, which provide better repeatability and efficiency, and enable the production of small batches of metal parts with complete design freedom and low costs. The BASF Ultrafuse® 17-4PH filament is a hardened chrome-nickel-copper stainless steel with the addition of niobium, which is characterized by high strength and hardness. BASF Ultrafuse® 316L is a chrome-nickel-molybdenum stainless steel that provides enhanced corrosion resistance of the 304 / 304L alloy in moderately corrosive environments.
