Research and development 3D printer Fuse 1+

for materials researchSLSselective laser sintering

Overview
Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W is a compact industrial SLS 3D printer designed for in-house production and rapid prototyping. It combines a 30W ytterbium fiber laser, a modular build chamber and an integrated powder-management ecosystem to simplify SLS workflows and reduce material waste.

Key benefits

• Benchtop industrial SLS performance for end-use parts and small-to-medium production runs.
• 30W ytterbium fiber laser optimized for common nylon and TPU powders.
• Modular build chamber compatible with Fuse 1 generation and Fuse Sift for streamlined post-processing.
• Integrated hardware and PreForm/Dashboard software workflow for job preparation, monitoring and powder recovery.

Package options

• Standalone Printer: Fuse 1+ 30W with one Fuse Build Chamber (suitable if you already have compatible post-processing equipment).
• Starter Package: Standalone plus manual depowdering tools.
• Complete Package: includes automated Fuse Sift and Fuse Blast for automated depowdering and finishing.

Included with the Standalone Printer
The Standalone Printer includes the Fuse 1+ 30W unit and one Fuse Build Chamber—intended for operations expanding an existing Fuse fleet or using external post-processing equipment.

Materials and software

• Supported materials: Nylon 12, Nylon 12 Tough, Nylon 12 White, Nylon 11, Nylon 12 GF, Nylon 11 CF and TPU 90A powders. Open Material Mode enables compatible 1064 nm powders.
• PreForm for file preparation and build setup; prints can be monitored and managed remotely via Formlabs Dashboard.
