3-D printing of parts has many potential advantages over traditional machining. The outgassing rate of these materials is particularly interesting for determining their performance in a vacuum environment and for other practical applications. We measured outgassing rate of 3-D printed stainless steel and titanium samples. The outgassing rate was measured using pressure rate-of-rise method and throughput method. The outgassing rate of each sample was measured at room temperature. The composition of the desorbed gas was also determined. The experimental results and measurement procedure will be discussed in the presentation.
