Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W SLS
Formlabs developed the Fuse 1+ with accessibility in mind. Most companies do not have many extra square meters in their facilities, nor the ability to add dedicated power groups that are historically needed for SLS– Systems. Many of our SMEs and SMEs customers work from office spaces instead of large warehouses and technical facilities, they have limited opportunities to change the size of their spaces, utilities and HVAC systems. The Fuse 1+ offers a solution to that dilemma; it is compactly designed, quick to install, safe and intuitive in use and requires minimal cleaning work.
Internet, Software and Dashboard
The Fuse 1+ and Fuse Sift are easy to add to your existing network, they are equipped with both ethernet and WiFi capabilities. New SLS users do not need to purchase expensive software for the management of printers: The Fuse 1+ and Fuse Sift are integrated into Formlabs’ free CAD agnostic print orientation software PreForm.
PreForm also makes it easy to optimise powder use (and thus minimise operational costs) through its automated packaging algorithm, which ensures that each component is nested in the build chamber in such a way that the unsintered powder and wasted space are minimized.
There are also direct integrations for programs like Fusion 360, so the integration and print preparation of your workflow is seamless and does not take time. For companies that have scaled up their SLS production, managing powder and maintenance schedules, remote printing, file sharing and print progression with your team is easy via Dashboard, a free Formlabs online platform.
Fuse Sift: safe powder treatment
An important factor that prevents customers from printing with SLS is the usually complicated and messy post-processing. The biggest concern is often the powder itself, both in terms of safety and the mess it can cause.
The Fuse 1+ and Fuse Sift remove this concern by including most of the powder treatment steps (powder extraction, preparation, transport and storage), thus limiting the user’s interaction with the powder.
The Fuse Sift also creates a safe environment under the cover for removing the workpieces from the powder cake (the whole of partially sintered powder surrounding the workpieces) and removing excess unsintered powder. The Fuse Sift makes it easy for everyone to clean powder using the supplied set of tools and even depowders.
Post-processing
Post-processing is made easy by the Fuse Sift, including powder removal and powder recycling/mixing. But what about after parts are depowdered and finished? These can be done with Fuse Blast be beamed and polished with various media.
We know that many applications require incredibly smooth surfaces and need an extra step after using the Fuse Sift. For example, media rays, lacquers and vapor smoothing are processes that many customers use to smooth the parts and improve their porosity and water density, as well as the general aesthetics of the end-use components. Fenix 3D can advise you about these processes or run them for you.
