About Stainless Steel (17-4PH) 
Stainless Steel 17-4 PH is highly used in many industrial applications.  It is known for its good corrosion resistance and high levels of strength and hardness. It is silver in color and has a granular finish that can be polished. Stainless Steel is manufactured using Binder Jetting Technology (BJT) from Desktop Metal on a Shop System as-sintered. This material is a single alloy, 100% Stainless steel.

About Polished Steel Bronze
Steel is an affordable and strong metal that is well-suited for consumer products both small and large with an industrial look and feel. It’s printed using a binder jetting process and is later infused with bronze, creating a material that is 60% steel and 40% bronze and can range in color from a silver gray to reddish bronze. It is strong enough for metal parts like bottle openers and dice, but is not recommended for industrial load bearing applications. Parts are polished until shiny and smooth. (Internal detail can not be polished, well-reachable surfaces will be polished therefore tight internal spaces may remain unpolished.)
