3D printer Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W Printer Package

New SLS 3D Printer Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W

Two ears after the successful launch of its first Fuse 1 SLS 3D printer, Formlabs introduces its improved version, the Fuse 1+ 30W 3D printer, which prints twice as fast and adheres to the Zero Waste principles of economical use of materials.

Fuse 1+ 30W is the highest performance, affordability and savings you can get from SLS 3D printing on the market.

Print volume: 165×165×300 mm

Fuse 1+ prints twice as fast

What are the main features of the new Fuse 1+ 30W?

• Prints up to 2x faster than Fuse 1 with a powerful 30W laser and advanced galvanometer system.
• Fuse 1+ has new exclusive materials available thanks to its upgraded powder handling system.
• Improved mechanical properties of existing and new materials due to the ability to print in an inert gas environment with nitrogen supply.
• Thanks to printing in an inert gas environment and denser packing of parts in the print volume, significant material savings are achieved.

Economical SLS 3D printing with Fuse 1+ 30W

With its low cost compared to competitors in the market, availability of materials, twice the print speed, improved more compact packaging of parts per print and a high % material renewal, the Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W is rightfully the best investment solution for your production. From an idea to a ready-to-use industrial quality functional part - in a matter of hours!

Waste-free SLS printing with a Formlabs printer

Fuse 1+ 30W combines two new features that open up more advanced SLS printing possibilities.

Formlabs has added a new inert gas printing feature to the Fuse 1+, which uses nitrogen in the print chamber. It displaces unwanted oxygen from the powder sintering environment. As such, parts produced from Fuse 1+ are less brittle and more ductile, making them more suitable as end-use components, especially in harsh environments such as the automotive or aerospace industry. Compatible nitrogen generators are widely available for purchase, and recommended models can be found by talking to a member of our store sales team.

The controlled atmosphere also provides a more efficient sintering process for Nylon 11 Powder and Nylon 11 CF Powder by better protecting the green powder from oxidation, allowing users to reuse it in the next print run. This results in a higher recyclability of the powder and, combined with optimal packing density, can create a waste-free printing workflow. Without an inert gas atmosphere, Nylon 11 and Nylon 11 CF powders have a 50% refresh rate, which means that 50% recycled and 50% fresh powder must be used to create each new cartridge. In a nitrogen environment, this improves by up to 30% for both materials.

Fuse 1+ 30W Printer Package includes:

• 3D printer Fuse 1
• Fuse Build Chamber
• Fuse Optical Cleaning Kit

Fuse Standard/Premium Service Plan 1, 2, or 3 year warranty is sold separately.

The Formlabs Fuse 1+ SLS Printing System is:

Availability

Competitively priced high performance 3D printing at a tenth cost of existing SLS machines. Fuse 1+ is the smart choice for industrial quality SLS 3D printing. Because of its reduced hardware costs, affordable materials and a low material refresh rate to recycle used material.

Efficiency

Saving time and resources. From design to functional prototype or finished product production a matter of hours pass. Fuse 1+ is the key to direct production with SLS 3D printing of inexpensive and functional products in industrial quantities.

Convenient workflow

Easy-to-use hardware and software ensures maximum efficiency at all process stages, from print setup to powder extraction and recovery. Full color touch screen guides you through every step of printing and maintenance.

Exceptional quality

The finished parts created in Fuse 1+ 3D printer are durable, flexible and detailed. They are also capable of withstanding rigorous functional tests or can be shipped directly to customers as finished products.

Models are supported by the surrounding unused powder, so there is no need to create special supporting structures. Thus, the part's surface directly from Fuse 1+ has a marketable appearance. So parts require minimal final processing.

Complete Ecosystem

The Fuse 1+ ecosystem is designed to take into account all stages of the process. From print preparation with PreForm software to powder recycling and recovery at the Fuse Sift station. All processes are efficient and keep your workplace clean.

Quick and easy print preparation

Formlabs PreForm print preparation software, included with Fuse 1+, allows you to quickly import STL or OBJ part files, orient and lay out models in the build volume, estimate print times, monitor printers, and load job files.

PreForm part packing algorithms can automatically place multiple models in an assembly.

Managed SLS printing process

The intuitive Touch UI guides you through every step of setting up and printing. Watch printing process live streaming directly on the Fuse 1+ touch screen or from your computer in PreForm. Control the process, layer by layer, without leaving your workplace.

Monitor printers, commands, and supplies with a cloud-based dashboard.

Reliable and stable printing

SLS 3D printing fuses nylon powder layer by layer. The unused powder supports the parts in the 3D printing process. In this way, you can create complex models without having to create supporting structures.

Fuse 1+ uses the patented Surface Armor technology, a semi-synthetic shell that is imprinted around the part's surface. These qualities are heightened even further when using the inert gas print option available with Fuse 1+ 30W. In result, Fuse 1+ delivers competitive product mechanical properties and surface finishes without the prohibitive cost or hassle of competing systems.

Safe and effective powder recovery

The Formlabs Fuse Sift Universal Powder Recovery Station is an essential for part retrieval, recovery, storage and powder mixing.

Fuse Sift dispenses and mixes used and new powder automatically and safely. Thus, the Fuse 1+ printing system allows the production of fully functional parts containing up to 70% recycled powder. This maximizes recyclability and optimizes cost per part.

Continuous Workflow

With multiple Fuse 1+ and Fuse Sift compatible removable Build Chambers, create a seamless SLS printing process while reducing downtime.

Fuse 1+ has the best recovery time in the industry. It is able to start a new print 1 - 2 hours after the previous job is completed.
