Fuse 1+ 30W

Overview

Fuse 1+ 30W is part of the Fuse series of SLS (powder bed fusion) 3D printers and is presented in the input as the Fuse series chosen by more than half of SLS users worldwide. Supported materials listed include Nylon 12 Powder, Nylon 12 Tough Powder, Nylon 12 White Powder, TPU 90A Powder, Nylon 12 GF Powder, Nylon 11 Powder, Nylon 11 CF Powder, and an Open Material Mode. The product ecosystem and hardware features in the input include a high-power ytterbium fiber laser, a high-density powder supply system, a modular build chamber, and a fully sealed powder system with an intuitive UX design and workflow environment (option). PreForm software functions cited are automated packing, nesting, orientation, layering and other features to optimize parts and workflows. Fuse Sift is described as completing part depowdering and enabling unused powder to be recycled for the next print in as little as 10 minutes, while Fuse Blast is described as 100% hands-free for SLS powder removal and brushing and is paired with a Polishing System to automate finishing. Open Material Mode is described as enabling printing with powders that respond to 1,064nm wavelength laser light. Pricing and supply details in the input include Formlabs materials priced from $649~, a volume purchasing example where customers buying 50kg or more of powder receive 20% applied and a post-discount powder price reported as low as $45 per 1kg, and one listed production time of 2 days for Fuse 1+ 30W with Nylon 11 powder. The input describes the Fuse 1+ 30W ecosystem as providing a comprehensive 3D printing experience from part formation through post-processing, including automated depowdering, powder recycling, and automated finishing. Explicit workflow steps given in the input include build preparation, build, depowdering, powder removal & polishing, post-processing, and maintenance management. The input states the system supports use cases such as single-run prototype production, on-demand replacement part manufacturing and printing thousands of parts per week to distribute workshop load, with PreForm optimization and Fuse Sift/Fuse Blast/Polishing System used to accelerate packing, orientation, depowdering, finishing and powder reuse.
