The filament consists of metal powder in a plastic matrix and is melted and applied layer by layer until a so-called green body is created. These green parts are subsequently debinded and sintered at high temperatures to form a dense metal component. It is crucial to identify the material-specific and process-specific limits in order to be able to manufacture true to size. This paper therefore develops design guidelines for the MEX/M process for green part manufacturing for the widely used austenitic stainless steel AISI 316L (1.4404). Basic geometrical features such as walls, boreholes and overhangs are studied and influencing factors on the dimensional accuracy are assessed. Based on the results, recommendations for part design are presented.enhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Conference Paper10.15480/882.904610.15480/882.9046Conference Paper
