FormLabs Fuse 1 & Sift

The Fuse 1 is an industrial-level Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printer that provides production-ready parts

• Low cost for production-ready parts 
• 100% infill => Strong parts
• No supports are required. 
• Quick turnaround time.

Specifications

The specifications for this machine are provided by Formlabs, can be found at this link: https://formlabs.com/3d-printers/fuse-1/tech-specs/?srsltid=AfmBOorGmCbznUIVb33fmVJDVRxsJvvR3lPFveL_-yUnzsVhS35YfT5e

Parts can be expected to be within +/- 1 laser spot size with this technology, which translates to +/- 0.2mm horizontal tolerance for the Formlabs Fuse 1. The layer size is 0.1mm, therefore parts can be expected to be +/- 0.1mm in height. These tolerances change depending on how the part is oriented within the build chamber at time of production, therefore make sure to clarify at time of order if there are critical dimensions or a preferred orientation within the build chamber.
