Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W SLS 3D Printer and Production System

Bring industrial selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing in-house with the Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W, a compact industrial 3D printer designed for functional prototypes, complex geometries and production-ready polymer parts. Its 30 W fiber laser sinters nylon and other compatible polymer powders into durable components without requiring support structures, making it possible to produce intricate designs, interlocking assemblies and small production runs in-house.

The Fuse 1+ is more than a standalone 3D printer. The Formlabs Fuse ecosystem includes powder recovery, depowdering, part cleaning and surface finishing options that can be configured to suit your production requirements. Whether you need a manual powder-handling setup or a more automated workflow, 3D Printing Canada can help you build a complete SLS production system around your applications, materials, throughput and available workspace.

Industrial SLS 3D Printing for Functional Parts and Production

• Industrial-grade polymer parts: Produce functional prototypes, housings, brackets, fixtures, enclosures and end-use components using compatible SLS materials, including nylon and flexible TPU.

• Complex designs without support structures: Unsintered powder supports parts during printing, allowing intricate geometries, internal features and interlocking designs without conventional support removal.

• Compact industrial footprint: Bring SLS production into your facility without the footprint typically associated with larger industrial powder-bed systems.

• Efficient batch production: Nest multiple components within a build to make efficient use of the build volume and support repeatable small-batch manufacturing.

• Material options for different applications: Choose from compatible Formlabs powders, including Nylon 12, Nylon 11, glass-filled nylon and TPU 90A, with material selection based on the required mechanical properties and intended use.

• An expandable production workflow: Start with manual powder handling and depowdering or incorporate automated powder management, cleaning and finishing equipment as your production needs grow.

Build the Right Formlabs Fuse Production System

The Fuse 1+ 30W can be configured with equipment from the wider Formlabs Fuse ecosystem. Your ideal package depends on how many parts you produce, how frequently you print, how you handle recovered powder and the level of post-processing automation you need.

• Fuse 1+ 30W SLS 3D Printer: The core printing system for producing functional polymer parts using selective laser sintering.

• Fuse Series Powder Cartridges and Build Chambers: Support powder handling and build management within the compatible Fuse workflow.

• Manual depowdering equipment: A practical starting point for teams comfortable handling powder recovery and part extraction manually.

• Fuse Sift powder management system: An enclosed station for extracting parts, recovering unsintered powder and mixing recovered powder with fresh material for reuse.

• Fuse Blast cleaning and finishing system: Automates post-processing to remove residual powder and, with the appropriate polishing configuration, produce a smoother, more refined surface finish.

• Additional workflow equipment and materials: Configure the system with the compatible accessories, powder supplies and additional build chambers needed for your production process.

Not every facility needs every component. A manually operated starter configuration may be appropriate for lower production demands, while automated powder management and finishing equipment can reduce hands-on processing as throughput increases.

Configure Your Fuse 1+ System with 3D Printing Canada

Every production environment has different requirements. Rather than limiting you to a fixed starter package, 3D Printing Canada can quote a Formlabs Fuse 1+ solution tailored to your application.

Whether you are bringing outsourced parts in-house, developing functional prototypes, manufacturing low-volume end-use components or building a repeatable production workflow, we can help you determine the appropriate printer configuration, powder-handling equipment, post-processing options and material requirements.

Contact 3D Printing Canada for a custom quote on the Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W and compatible production equipment. Tell us what you need to manufacture, your expected production volume and how automated you want your workflow to be, and we can help you identify a suitable system.
