Formlabs Fuse Blast High Capacity Kit

The Formlabs Fuse Blast High Capacity Kit is a scaled-up tumbler basket system for the Fuse Blast automated SLS post-processing station, delivering more than 50% higher part throughput per cycle compared to the standard basket configuration. Featuring a 400 mm opening diameter, tool-free direct-swap installation, and a bundled Fuse Blast Large Tumbler Basket Liner Kit, it is the recommended upgrade for Fuse X1 operators and Fuse 1 Series multi-printer environments where post-processing capacity must keep pace with print output.

The top-down view below shows the High Capacity basket's dual-layer construction: a precision-perforated stainless steel outer ring calibrated for abrasive media recirculation, and a dense interlocking rubber liner designed to cushion SLS parts throughout each blasting cycle.

Post-Processing at Scale: The Case for a 400 mm Tumbler Basket

In SLS production environments running continuous or high-frequency print cycles, the post-processing station is routinely the constraint that limits output rate. The standard Fuse Blast basket sets a practical part-count ceiling — when that ceiling is reached, abrasive media distributes unevenly and parts collide inside the tumbler, creating surface defects that cannot be corrected at any downstream stage.

The High Capacity basket's larger internal volume maintains part separation at densities typical of a full Fuse X1 build cycle or the combined output from multiple Fuse 1 printers running in parallel. The isometric view below shows the cylindrical depth and uniform perforation density across the basket wall — two structural properties that together sustain consistent abrasive flow throughout the entire blast volume.

Identical Interface, Larger Envelope: No Reconfiguration Required

The High Capacity basket shares the exact mounting interface with the standard Fuse Blast tumbler basket — the swap is purely physical, requiring no tools, no firmware changes, and no station reconfiguration. Remove the existing basket, seat the large-format replacement, lock it in position, and production resumes. The photograph below confirms the fit in the field: the large basket fully seated inside the Fuse Blast cabinet, blasting nozzle in operating position, with no hardware modifications anywhere in sight.

Stainless Steel Perforation Design: Abrasive Flow Without Retention

The basket body is a precision-perforated stainless steel cylinder. The aperture geometry retains SLS parts of all standard sizes while allowing abrasive media and residual powder to exit freely into the Fuse Blast recirculation path — no secondary screens or additional inserts required. Structural flanged rims at top and bottom maintain dimensional stability through repeated high-load blast cycles. The side-profile image below shows the complete wall height and the regular hole distribution pattern that makes surface treatment uniformity predictable across the entire basket interior.

Liner Continuity Included: No Separate Consumable Order at First Wear

Rubber liners are a consumable item. In high-volume SLS environments, liner wear occurs faster than most production schedules anticipate — and a degraded liner discovered mid-run typically means an emergency consumable order and a delivery wait. The High Capacity Kit eliminates that scenario: the package combines the large tumbler basket with a complete Fuse Blast Large Tumbler Basket Liner Kit (cylindrical liner plus plastic rivets), so a replacement liner is on-site from day one. No separate order. No production pause.

The macro view below shows the liner surface microstructure — a dense interlocking rubber coil pattern that distributes blast energy uniformly across every contact point, preventing the concentrated impact damage that a smooth or rigid liner surface would cause to thin walls and fine SLS part features.

Size Reference: High Capacity vs. Standard Basket

The image below positions both baskets together: the High Capacity large-format basket (rear, larger) alongside the standard Fuse Blast tumbler basket (front, smaller). The volume difference is immediately substantial. For Fuse X1 operators, the large basket represents single-cycle capacity matched to a full build volume — eliminating the need to split large batches across multiple standard-basket runs. For Fuse 1 fleet operators, it consolidates the combined output of several parallel builds into one post-processing session.
