Stainless Steel
back to all materials 
Stainless Steel
Infused with bronze and then curedWe recommend using it for quite detailed and strong objects where the properties of metal come in handy or are esthetic. Objects will be quite smooth, though small printing lines remain visible. Color is silver throughout and quite bright. If you want to sand, saw or polish it, the color wil remain silver. No bronze color will surface.
