Formlabs Fuse Blast Polishing System – Advanced Finish
High-performance polishing for SLS prints
The Formlabs Fuse Blast Polishing System is engineered for high-quality surface finishing on SLS 3D prints. Offering consistent, professional results,
it ensures a refined, polished finish ideal for enhancing the appearance and functionality of printed parts.
The Fuse Blast Polishing System is a drop-in upgrade to the Fuse Blast that allows users to add a smooth, semi-gloss, scuff-resistant, and dye-ready surface finish to their SLS printed parts.
This single-step add-on to the Fuse Blast both cleans and polishes your parts straight from the Fuse Sift without the need for another Blast. The Polishing System is compatible with any Fuse Blast and includes:
1 – Fuse Blast Polishing Module
2 – Fuse Blast Polishing Media Jugs
1 – Fuse Blast Polishing Agent Bottle
Printer compatibility: Fuse 1, Fuse 1+ 30W
Why Choose Fuse Blast Polishing System
Consumer-Ready Parts
Produce professional SLS parts with a smooth, semi-gloss, and dye-ready surface finish for customer facing applications.All-In One
Upgrade any Fuse Blast to clean and polish parts in a single step, straight from Fuse Sift.Reliable Outcomes
By compacting the surface with polishing media, as opposed to abrasive smoothing or chemical surface melting, surface roughness is reduced without removing material.Cost-Effective Solution
The most affordable solution for SLS surface finishing, in a simple and intuitive UX compared to competitive systems that require standalone units and/or specialized training.
How It Works
While standard glass-blasting leaves a rough, matte surface, the Polishing System cleans and smooths parts in one step through impact polishing. The Polishing Module doses and aerosolizes a small amount of Polishing Agent solution in the blast stream to condition the Polishing Media. This media compacts the part surface, achieving a smooth, semi-gloss finish without removing material, similar to shot peening.
A minimum blasting pressure of 60 PSI is recommended for best results. Fuse Blast’s Adaptive Airflow feature enables lower-capacity compressors to handle this increased airflow requirement by pausing the cycle while the compressor recharges. This delivers an uninterrupted, hands-off experience for cleaning and polishing your consumer-ready, SLS parts.
