Silica Sand
Silica sand is one of the most common varieties of sand
in the world and is derived from quartz crystals. It is
used for a wide range of applications, including the
creation of molds and cores for industrial castings. The
advantage of using a common material such as silica
sand for 3D printing is that it requires no changes at the
foundry. Additionally, when used with furan binder, it is
considered a “no bake” product, which means that
printed silica sand molds and cores are immediately
ready for casting.
420 Stainless Steel / Bronze
Matrix
ExOne® 3D Printed 420 Stainless Steel infiltrated with
Bronze is a matrix material composed of 60% stainless
steel and 40% bronze infiltrant. This material offers
good mechanical properties, is available in both an
annealed and non-annealed condition, is able to be
machined, welded and polished, and offers excellent
wear resistance.
316 Stainless Steel / Bronze
Matrix
ExOne® 3D Printed 316 Stainless Steel infiltrated with
Bronze is a matrix material composed of 60% stainless
steel and 40% bronze infiltrant. The lower yield
strength of the material enables it to be easily machined
and polished.

316L Stainless Steel 17-4 Stainless Steel Ceramic Beads

ExOne’s 3D Printed 316L Stainless Steel is a corrosion
resistant material that is easily machined and polished.
This material offers higher tensile strength at higher
temperatures.
17-4 Stainless Steel has broad applications in the
automotive, medical and general industry markets, used
to produce a range of products, including surgical tools,
metallic filters, pumps, impellers and structural
automotive parts. 17-4 Stainless Steel is known for its
excellent mechanical and corrosion resistance
properties and cost-effectiveness.
Ceramic Beads is a spherical ceramic (synthetic) sand
used in foundry operations for the creation of sand
molds and cores. It is comprised of aluminum silicate
and exhibits excellent refractory properties, high
permeability and low thermal expansion. Gases are
readily dispersed, reducing the potential for porosity in
the casting. Cerabeads is compatible with all binders
and is especially recommended for casting steel alloys

IN Alloy 625
ExOne® 3D Printed Alloy IN 625 material is a nearly full
dense, austenitic nickel-chromium-based superalloy.
This material offers excellent mechanical properties
both at extremely high and low temperatures. It also
exhibits high resistance to oxidation at elevated
temperatures of up to 1050°C. Good resistance to
acids, such as nitric, phosphoric, sulfuric and
hydrochloric, as well as to alkalis makes possible the
construction of thin structural parts with high heat
transfer capabilities.

Iron-Chrome-Aluminum
Offering superior properties as compared to the other
alloys, Iron-Chrome-Aluminum alloys are widely used in
electrical furnace, electrical oven, home appliance,
electrical heater and infrared settings.
Zircon
Zircon (a naturally occurring beach sand) is often used
in foundries for the production of sand molds and cores
to improve casting performance. It has a high thermal
expansion coefficient, a melting point of 2500°C, and a
Mohs hardness of 7.5. Zircon’s low thermal expansion
rate, its high thermal conductivity and its non-
wettability by molten metal make it and ideal mold and
chill sand. It is also used to improve surface finish.
Zircon can be 3D printed as a straight material or as a
mixture with silica sand. Its usage as an additive creates
faster heat dispersion and results in finer
microstructure of the metal and a higher quality casting.

IN Alloy 718
Commonly used for components in the aerospace,
chemical and energy markets, with applications
including gas turbine blades, filtration and separation,
heat exchanger and molding processes, the alloy is
desirable due to its oxidation and corrosion-resistant
qualities, able to retain its strength even when
subjected to extreme environments.
Chromite
Chromite sand is a naturally occuring spinel consisting
of chrome and iron oxides. As a mold and core making
sand, its properties enable the material to be utilized in
heavy duty grey iron and steel foundries. Its high
thermal conductivity gives it favorable chilling
properties and low thermal expansion contributes to
excellent dimensional stability. Used as a standalone
material, or as an additive to silica sand, chromite allows
for faster heat dispersion and results in finer
microstructure of the metal and therefore a higher
quality casting.

Soda Lime Glass
ExOne has qualified 100% recycled (and recyclable)
soda-lime glass for its 3D printing systems. In the
printing process, fine glass powder is glued together,
layer by layer with a binder and sintered in a kiln. The
material is porous, opaque and fragile and feels coarse
to the touch. The glass material systems are best suited
for art sculptures and other decorative objects.

Cobalt-Chrome
Traditionally used in various fields where high wear-
resistance is needed, including aerospace, cutlery,
bearings and blades, Cobalt-Chrome alloy has recently
received more attention for medical applications due to
excellent resistant properties, high melting points and
incredible strength at high temperatures.
Bonded Tungsten
Developed in partnership with an ExOne customer,
bonded tungsten has been qualified for use on the
M-Flex 3D printing system. 3D printed bonded
tungsten is an effective replacement for lead in the
medical imaging and aerospace markets, and as such, it
is a great solution for protecting people and their
environments from the harmful effects of ionizing
radiation.
