Material
Stainless steel is a strong, rust-proof metal. We 3D print it into complex parts no mold can make.
Overview
Stainless steel is a strong, rust-proof metal. We 3D print it into complex parts no mold can make.
Stainless steel (316L or 17-4PH) is printed by metal 3D printing (SLM/DMLS). It builds strong, corrosion-resistant parts layer by layer, with shapes that are hard to machine or cast.
We build parts layer by layer from your digital file, with no tooling needed.
Shapes that are hard or impossible to machine or mold, ready in days.

Values are typical reference data and may vary with grade, heat treatment, and part geometry. Tell us your needs and we will confirm exact specs.
Why Stainless
Fights rust, even in wet or salty air.
Strong enough for real parts.
Internal channels and lattices.
One part or many, no mold cost.
Material Options
We stock common grades. Tell us your need and we will pick the right one.
Best corrosion resistance. The common grade.
Very high strength after hardening.
Tough with good corrosion resistance.
How It Works
From your file to a finished part in five clear steps. Start with a free quote.
Upload your STEP or STL file. Get a quote with free DFM feedback, usually within 24 hours.
Our engineers check wall thickness, overhangs, and supports. We suggest changes that cut cost and improve quality.
We print your part layer by layer with metal (SLM/DMLS) or plastic (SLS/MJF) technology.
We remove supports, then heat-treat, surface-finish, or color the part as needed.
We measure and inspect each part, then pack and ship worldwide with full tracking.
Applications
Biocompatible, sterilizable parts.
Light, strong brackets and ducts.
Custom factory aids.
Small batches of real components.
Design Tips
New to this process? These simple rules help your part turn out well and cost less.
Keep walls thick enough to print and stay strong. Very thin walls may fail or warp.
Overhangs and bridges need supports. Design to reduce them and cut cost.
Tight tolerances cost more. Only specify them where the function needs them.
Finishes
The natural layered surface. Fastest and lowest cost.
A uniform matte finish that softens layer lines.
A smoother, brighter surface for looks or function.
Color or coating for metal or nylon parts.
Why YiguProto
We are a dedicated factory for 3D printing. Every file is reviewed by engineers before production. Every part is inspected before shipping. Your designs stay private with us.
