Abstract The Fused Deposition of Metals (FDMet) technique has been developed to directly fabricate complex functional components. The goals of this study are to successfully fabricate reasonably long filament which could be used to successfully fabricate parts using FDMet, and to optimize the build parameters in the fused deposition technology specifically for metals. In this research, two types of stainless steel powders (spherical and irregular) were investigated. The issues related to filament fabrication and FDMet were investigated. A number of parts have been successfully fabricated (FDMet) using about a foot long filament. The parts are currently being characterized and evaluated. Keywords: FDMet Layer Manufacturing Feedstock 17-4PH Metals (Auth abstract) [References: 9]
