What are the applications of
devices and in which industry will they work?

What functionality?

We have noticed that in companies that use SLS 3D printing technology, fast post-production processing is important. In order to realize the full potential of Formlabs Fuse printing systems, Formlabs has developed integrated solutions to support powder preparation and cleaning of prints, as well as automatic powder recovery. Fuse Sift and Fuse Blast allow for efficient powder management, accurate part cleaning and stable production quality. Fuse Sift’s automation of the powder recovery and mixing reduces preparation lead-time for prints, reduces material waste and ensures a clean working environment. Fuse Blast, on the other hand, offers fast, controlled and repeatable cleaning of models after the printing process. This means time savings, higher part surface quality and repeatable end-results.

What demand?

The Fuse Sift and Fuse Blast are ideal for industrial applications where SLS 3D printing requires precision backed by efficient and clean post-production processing. The devices automate the step of cleaning the parts from powder and managing the material for reuse. Fuse Sift enables powder recovery and mixing. This means rapid preparation of subsequent print batches with minimal material waste. Fuse Blast provides fast and even cleaning of finished parts, eliminating time-consuming manual cleaning and improving the surface quality of parts. This enables efficient preparation of a series of final components, functional prototypes, or production parts.

In what industries?

Fuse Blast and Fuse Sift can be used in industries such as industrial manufacturing, automotive, medical (orthopedics) and medical device sectors. They are a perfect solution wherever fast and repeatable preparation of a series of models/prototypes and multiple final components is important. These devices support R&D departments and production teams that require precise SLS prints.

  • Manufacturing
  • Automotive
  • Medicine and medical devices

What benefits and key advantages do these devices bring?

Technical benefits:
1

Automatically and evenly clean SLS parts.
Fuse Blast removes powder residue from all print surfaces, ensuring uniform cleaning quality without risking damage to delicate geometries.

2

Direct post-process handling of prints.
Models can be easily transferred from the Fuse printer’s build chamber directly to cleaning systems, reducing handling time and powder contact.

3

Programmable cleaning and purging cycles.
The user can adjust the intensity and cleaning time depending on the geometry, size and complexity of the prints.

4

Closed powder circuit for safe operation.
Fuse Sift allows mixing and recovery of powder in a closed system, minimizing operator contact with fine nylon dust.

5

Optimal powder management.
With the function of automatic mixing of fresh and recycled powder, we achieve stable material quality and reduce production waste.

6

Precision powder sifting and quality control.
Fuse Sift sifts powder to the correct grain fraction, ensuring stable printing conditions and repeatable mechanical parameters of models.

7

Standardized work profiles for various applications.
The available settings and procedures support both rapid prototyping and mass production of final parts.

8

Consistent repeatability of results in SLS production.
Automation of the entire post-processing process makes it possible to achieve uniform surface quality and mechanical properties in each production batch.
