Formlabs launches Fuse 1 with the Fuse Sift powder recovery station

Formlabs/Fuse series

Formlabs began selling Fuse 1, its first selective laser sintering nylon printer, for $18,499, alongside the $9,000 Fuse Sift station that recovers unused powder for reuse. The removable build chamber enables near-continuous printing; the company targets over 70% powder reuse to cut waste and part cost.

• Fuse 1 priced at $18,499 (printer alone $9,999); Fuse Sift station $9,000 for powder recovery and reuse.
• Removable build chamber enables near-continuous printing and rapid job swaps; supports nylon PA 12 and PA 11.
• Targets over 70% powder reuse to reduce waste and part cost; roughly 20 times cheaper than industrial SLS printers.
