Introdusing Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W SLS 3D Printer
✅ On July 13th, 2022 Formlabs announced the newest addition to the Fuse Series, Fuse 1+ 30W, engineered to deliver unprecedented print speeds and material enablement, for truly rapid production in-house and high ROI. ? The high-efficiency Fuse 1+ 30W SLS printer with print speeds up to two times faster than the previous generation thanks to a new, more powerful laser and higher scanning speed, improved powder handling, and optional inert nitrogen environment. ? Fuse 1+ 30W users can increase their throughput, unlock new, high-performance materials, and deliver parts faster than ever. ❶ Prototypes in Hours, Not Days. To reduce overall print time, we started by upgrading the core engine of the printer - the Fuse 1+ 30W has a new, more powerful laser, as well as an updated laser scanning system. These two main updates ensure that interlayer printing is happening as rapidly and efficiently as possible. ❷ Maximum Production Throughput. After several years of raw materials shortages, rising contractor costs, and factory shut-downs, manufacturers are searching for ways to take control of their supply chains. Recent materials innovations have made 3D printed end-use parts not only possible, but ideal for stop-gap options, validation stages, and customization applications. Small and medium manufacturers can afford to bring SLS in house with the Fuse 1+ 30W printer in-house and reduce their reliance on expensive external contractors, as well as avoid delays and variability in the production supply chain. Large manufacturers that might already utilize SLS 3D printing can decentralize their 3D printing operation without duplicating the cost of their traditional SLS systems, giving more engineers, designers, and technicians access to industrial quality SLS. ❸ Superior Mechanical Properties and Zero Waste Printing. 3D printing for production wouldn’t be possible without high performance materials, and the Fuse 1+ 30W integrates two new features that unlock more advanced powder possibilities. A new optional nitrogen supply feature creates an inert gas environment during the print process, eliminating unwanted oxygen from the sintering environment. When printed in this inert environment, parts exhibit less brittleness and better ductility, enhancing their suitability as end-use components, especially in rugged environments such as automotive or aerospace. Compatible nitrogen generators are widely available for purchase, and recommended models can be found by speaking with a member of our sales team. The controlled atmosphere also enables a more efficient sintering process for Nylon 11 Powder and Nylon 11 CF Powder by better preserving unsintered powder from oxidation, allowing users to reuse more of it in the next printing cycle. This leads to a higher powder recyclability from 50% to 30% refresh rate down. ❹ Upgraded Mixing Enables New Materials. Composite materials like Nylon 11 CF Powder owe their heightened strength and durability to the combination of carbon fibers throughout the powder, reinforcing the nylon’s material properties. Advanced materials require a more sophisticated powder handling system, one that can maintain the powder flow integrity during the dosing process. The Fuse 1+ 30W engineering team designed an elegant solution to facilitate these new materials. The new agitator within the powder hopper creates a consistent, smooth delivery of material into the build chamber, enabling Nylon 11 CF Powder now, and opening up possibilities for future high performance materials in the future. ❺ End-to-End Solution for Low Cost Per Part and Fast ROI. The Fuse 1+ 30W printer presents an industrial-quality solution with an accessible footprint and affordable entry price, allowing small to medium manufacturers to not only bring SLS in-house, but scale up production. Besides an affordable entry price point, the low cost-per-part, faster turnaround time, and streamlined workflow can also reduce overall manufacturing costs. ?
