Fuse 1

Fuse 1 enables engineers, designers, and manufacturers at all levels to rethink product development, hybrid manufacturing, and end-use production. Additionally, the company launched Fuse Sift, a post-processing system for the Fuse 1, and Nylon 12 Powder, Formlabs’ first powder material for Fuse 1, to provide users with a straightforward end-to-end SLS workflow. 

Fuse 1 features include:

• A modular build chamber that enables continuous printing and reduces downtime;


• Patent-pending Surface Armor technology that creates semi-sintered shell to protect the surface of the part as it prints;


• The capability to print with up to 70 percent recycled powder;


• A material refresh rate, the minimum ratio of fresh powder required to print, of 30 percent for minimal material waste.
