Additive manufacturing post-processing system Fuse Blast

for 3D printing

Overview
Fuse Blast is an automated cleaning and polishing solution for post-processing SLS 3D printed parts. Designed to integrate with the Fuse Series ecosystem and compatible third-party powder bed fusion printers, it enables full cleaning of an entire build chamber in as little as 15 minutes while reducing manual labor and post-processing time.

Polishing (optional)
An optional Polishing System add-on provides a single-step polish for a smooth, semi-gloss, scuff-resistant and dye-ready surface directly from Fuse Sift output, eliminating the need for an additional blast stage for many production-ready parts.

Key benefits

• Fully automated, hands-off cleaning and polishing for SLS parts
• Finish a full build chamber in as little as 15 minutes
• Reduces manual labor and post-processing time (up to ~80% labor reduction when integrated in Fuse workflow)
• In-line ionizer prevents dust and media from re-settling for clean-to-the-touch parts
• Manual-assisted and handheld modes available to handle varied part sizes and geometries
• Passive media recycling and filtering extends media life and reduces overhead
• Fully sealed, workshop-friendly operation with replaceable HEPA filtration and independent venting
