Formlabs Launches the New Fuse X1 SLS EcoSystem

Fuse X1

Fuse X1 is a large-format industrial SLS 3D printer, built for engineers, manufacturers, and service bureaus looking to produce large prototypes and high-volume end-use parts with a faster turnaround. Its massive  build volume and high packing density enable same-day large parts and 3x the throughput compared to competing platforms. AI-powered Print Intelligence monitors jobs from first layer to final part to reduce failures. Setup takes about an hour, print-to-print changeover takes minutes, and the same end-to-end workflow handles extraction, powder reclaiming, and finishing — moving parts from printed to polished in as little as 15 minutes.

Fuse X1 Build Unit

The Fuse X1 build unit contains and transports prints throughout the Fuse X1 ecosystem. It is wheeled and mobile to easily move between the Fuse X1 during printing and Fuse Sift X1 for breakout, with blind-mate power and data connectors for ergonomic print changeovers. An insulated chamber allows the print to passively cool outside of the printer, enabling the next print to start with minimal downtime.

Fuse Sift X1

Fuse Sift X1 is a large format powder recovery station that turns post-print into a clean, hands-off workflow. An integrated powder transport system moves used powder from the Sift X1 to the Mix Kit automatically, and integrated compressed air inlet and gun that helps you recover powder from parts in seconds, replacing slow manual brushing. The sealed glovebox keeps operators and the workspace clean at any build size, while a built-in parts hatch sends broken-out parts straight to a transfer bin to free up the bench. With capacity for 3 to 5 full builds of used powder, Fuse Sift X1 keeps high-volume operations moving without bottlenecking on cleanup.

Fuse X1 Vacuum Conveyor

Fuse X1 Vacuum Conveyor is the building block of the powder transport system. One unit on the Fuse X1 loads refreshed powder into the printer, and a second unit moves sifted reclaimed powder from the Fuse Sift X1 to the Mix Kit or mixing setup of your choice. Additional vacuum conveyors can be used to transport and manage powder as desired to minimize bottlenecks, such as storing powder in large format containers. Each Vacuum Conveyor ships with mounting hardware and a vacuum hose. One Vacuum Conveyor is included with the Fuse X1 and one with the Fuse Sift X1.
