The Fuse Sift is a safe, efficient powder recovery system for the Fuse 1 generation printers. This easy-to-use, all-in-one station combines part extraction, powder recovery, storage, and mixing in a single free-standing device, for the most functionality in a single device available on the SLS market.
Compact, enclosed system: A negative air pressure system keeps powder inside while enabling open access and easy cleanup. With the optional Fuse Sift Glovebox Panel, you can completely contain powder and enable faster parts extraction.
Low waste: A 30% material refresh rate means you can print with up to 70% recycled powder, indefinitely. Fuse Sift’s sieve filters out particles to be remixed with new powder and reused in future prints.
Automatic powder mixing: Fuse Sift will dispense and mix used and new powder automatically so you can reduce waste and control your powder supply.
Nonstop printing: Reduce downtime by transferring modular build chambers and powder cartridges between the Formlabs SLS 3D printer and Fuse Sift for a nonstop, cyclical workflow.
A complete toolkit: The Fuse Sift includes a set of finishing tools to help you clean excess powder from parts with ease.
Printer compatibility: Fuse 1, Fuse 1+ 30W
