Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Uses a laser to precisely fuse nylon powder into lightweight, robust parts
Meet the Formlabs Fuse 1
The industrial power of selective laser sintering on your benchtop.
Manage prototyping and production yourself, in your space, at a tenth of the cost of existing SLS machines.
Produce functional parts in 24 hours, without the delays of service bureaus.
165 x 165 x 320 mm build volume for bigger parts and higher throughput.
No supports. Pack the build chamber with as many parts as you can fit and save time in
post‑processing.
A Material That Does It All
This isn’t your average 3D printed plastic. Nylon will bend and return to its original form, rather than fracturing suddenly.
