This is so cool! I never thought we'd have "desktop" SLS printers so early. I think more companies will start experimenting with this and making them more compact and cheap.
Very affordable lol also need some big work place to put all those machines in. I'd still with the more conventional cheaper 3d printers for now, hope these get smaller and cheaper over time though.
Pete's Shredder. True, but you had to soak the parts in resin or cyanoacrylate in postprocessing and the parts were very brittle, you would not do anything structural with them. Now this is made of nylon and the price has gone down by a factor of 10 so it's accessible to small businesses, startups and maker spaces.
50 years from now, assuming our robot overlords allow it, single moms will be 3D printing children. You'll design your dream child in Lil-DudeCAD or WhipperSnapper 4D, upload the file to the Spray-a-Baby website and pick up your brand new kid in about 72 hours tops or have him delivered directly to your doorstep straight from the *fulfillment* center. Wanna skip the messy stuff? You can even have him biosculpted to toddler size with the home training mod, so you'll never have to deal with dirty diapers or temper-tantrums. No need for packaging. He'll repel down from the Amazon Stork Heavy drone onto your driveway, walk right up to your front door, and ring the bell. You'll have to show I.D. and sign for him, but hey, when you hear your brand new bouncing little toddler say, "can i have some ice cream!" you'll realize that $1,000,000 (inflation adjusted) and extensive background check was money and time well spent!
You can have one now for the mere price of a heart. 🤣 Yea another 5-10 years more to be cheaper and affordable. Even my university can't buy it, well they can buy the materials are expensive as heck too.
6 years later, Micronics is doing a kickstarter for a consumer-grade SLS printer for 3000USD. Time will tell if they can keep that price for full release, but it’s insanely impressive.
Nice job and congrats on a great conference! Lots of good work and good people at Formlabs! The FUSE 1is a GREAT step forward for a consumer level SLS machine! $10,000 vs $800,000 is huge AND it plugs into 120v! Are you kidding me? You guys are changing the game! Excellent review Sean! Keep up the good work Tested team!
A correction - the Fuse 1 is not the first benchtop SLS printer priced well under the typical $150K+ price tag. The Swiss-made Sintratec Kit came out toward beginning of 2016 for $5600. It's a kit that takes approx 4 days to build with a volume of 110mm x 110mm x 110mm. They also offer the S1 which is fully assembled for $10,135 with a volume of 130mm x 130mm x 180mm. The Fuse 1 has a volume of 165mm x 165mm x 320mm for $9,999.
You're forgetting about the LISA from Sinterit. Less than 5000 Euro including the support equipment (that self-same support equipment is an additional $10,000 for the FUSE 1). I will admit though that the FUSE 1 seems much easier to use (with cartridge filling, and a removable build area). The LISA is a bit of a faff.
I've used a SLS printer maybe 6 years ago, the prints were extremely brittle but highly detailed Looks like they've solved the brittle problem, awesome
Not sure what you were actually looking at 6 years ago but SLS parts are generally pretty good for strength and stiffness compared to other 3d printing processes. Maybe the 'brittle' parts you looked at were actually just really thin and easy to break?
If you compared it to metallurgy it seems like the difference would be... the difference between extruding (very strong continuous grain) similar to how a regular 3D printer prints extruding material, with sintering/casting/deposition which is fusing individual particles together which in general is more rigid, can be stronger if done correctly, but inevitably more brittle because the bond between individual particles can't compete with an extruded "string" of material. Probably why they're using nylon which has a higher modulus of elasticity. Its like anything else though; its the application. For somethings its game changing, for others its sub par. We're not there yet.
While watching this I was expecting a cost for printer alone of about 30 grand. 10 grand for printer + 10 grand for powder recovery etc is truly amazing if it happens and the system works. That's in the realms of (very) serious hobbyists.
This is amazing. Throughly looking forward to the future of 3d printing. Though it is open to the public of course its going to be very expensive. Time to start saving up for when this comes to a more realistic price.
This is so amazing. I love seeing how much the prices are dropping on machines like this, while the user experience and quality are improving in leaps and bounds. I'm curious what the cost of the powder is, and what kind of paint finishing options there are. I do find it a bit odd that the reclaiming and mixing stations are roughly equivalent in cost to this amazing and complex machine, seems like the price on those could be cut down by at lest 50%, if not far more.
I am so glad to see Sean back. I also love how excited he is about this. If I had the money I would buy this. I just got my first 3d printer (a cheapo Prusa i3 clone) and I am hooked.
I have many designs made by sls, as a matter of fact I'm waiting for an existing order for about 20 different parts right now so this machine and it's recovery station is very interesting to me. The only thing I don't like is the dark colour of the finished product which would make it difficult to dye a colour lighter than the base nylon colour. If nylon came in a variety of colours or at least come out white like most sls prints do then there would be no problem but with this system it's very limited. It's good they mentioned the reason why the colour is dark at least.
Very nice visit, Sean. I can warm my hands on the heat generated within the comments below on your use of the word "normal." Not that I don't agree with you, but we're not quite there yet. I did like your take to the camera when holding the chain mail. I felt a lot closer to the scene. Alas, Sean, I do believe even dedicated hobbyists will have to wait a few more years. I am excited at the prospect of seeing you guys get your hands on one back home.
10K for the machine is an amazing price, but I think 9k for the cleaning and mix station is a bit steep. How often can you "reuse" the powder and how much does it cost to fill the build volume once?
We have been using the sinterit Lisa which is very similar and also uses the more expensive darker absorbing nylon and honestly the first few parts were great and now quality is starting to degrade as we haven’t been too diligent adding refresh material and making sure powder is packed properly. It is a real hassle and quite time consuming preparing the machine and then removing and cleaning the parts as compared with normal FFF printing. Also the laser scans really slowly compared to industrial sls machines, most of my prints are more than 24 hours, just as slow as FFF or slower. I’m really looking forward to HP multi jet where most of the workflow is automated. Not saying that cheap sls is not worth it but it’s not all rosy either, also with all the refresh material yet you need to use it starts getting really expensive so would never consider this for home use.
For 30k(20k for the machine and stations + 10k for material) I would start a 3d printing business printing tabletop and board game miniatures, pieces for cosplayers and pretty much anything people wanted
IT's magic brought to life and pure sci fi like wonderful. Im old now and although Im quite ok with that THIS is the sort of stuff my grandchildren will have to play with and as an artist I really envy them lol
End of February (almost March) 2019 and I am still waiting on my printer :( delivery dates got pushed way back again ! Hearing we might have the printer come 2021
He never said "normal people" would own one, he said normal people could have access to one. Right now SLS printing is simply not widely available because machines are hundreds of thousands of dollars. At this price your local maker space could have one, or a local printing shop could have one. At this price point you could afford to pay someone to do some amazing prints. In another 5 years, you will be able to afford one at home.
You’ve had our deposit for like two years lol Oh well. We’ve bought a 5 axis Haas since. But this would still be great if we had it. Come on Formlabs move your butts! 🇺🇸💯
Why the comparatively small build platform? The technology is already established. Add lots of lasers and print a car sized object? Forget about a gauntlet, print a whole suit. This is just an incredible technology that truly has the potential to alter the course of history.
can't wait for the ten years from now when this is really consumer technology instead of small bussiness technology :') Still very cool to see though. It's great to see this industry is growing quite strongly.
Questions: -What happens to the unused powder you dont recycle, as you will not be using 50% of the powder in the build printing parts, how is this dispensed from the cleaning station? -can you switch the machine between PA12 & PA11 powders and if so how much work is involved to clean/decontaminate the machine from the old powder? -how long does a full build take? -what accuracy can this machine print to?
The fog lights on the jet car printed on the Fuse 1 look kinda mushy compared to the one done by Shapeways on their EOS printers. How does the Z-axis accuracy compare? The price is right for small businesses but not if there are errors in accuracy.
reminds me of the zcorp printers. that printed colour resin on a layers of plaster of paris. currently under the 3dsystems banner. ProJet CJP 660. see if you can get eyes and hands on one of those. not for the hobbiest market but you can find the old zcorp branded ones on ebay now.
I immediately realized when the machine appeared for the first time in the video that it's not cheap as in 1500$, but at least a few thousand more. Nevertheless, I must say that this is some astonishing engineering for the 10000$ price tag! It's definitely in the reach of small businesses. I wonder how pricey the nylon material is and thus how high the operating costs are.
This looks amazing and wish we where like 10-20 years ahead with the price on these things because i think that a price range from 200 to 500 would be ideal for home users
This printer is amazing. The price may be high, but this is a business printer, not a friend wants you to print a posed Pokemon. I would buy this if I had people to sell to
Hmm, $10k for it. I'm going to raise an interesting couple of points: The only place I'm seeing offering nylon-12 powder for SLS has it at $150/kg. Contrast that with FFF filaments where you can get 1.75mm nylon-12 filament for $86/kg. It takes an hour for this to start up, and it prints at 10mm per *hour*, So it's more in line with production floors than it is for hobbyists because you *need* to load the build volume in order to decrease the slack time involved in wiping powder into the "dead" space. Then there's the fact that a home gamer can make their own filament by buying bulk raw plastic and extruding it with a home-built filastruder clone: I doubt the home gamer can achieve powders at the requisite granularity and consistency. Then this box only does two types of nylon; a FFF printer can do nylon, ABS, PET(T/G), PLA, HIPS, and TPE, among others. It's not worth standing on that hill and hanging your hat on it.
Impressive tech but how much electricity is required to run a machine like this? What are the running costs? It produces amazing things! Can't wait until someone makes a desktop version of this.
There would probably be some consumer "protection" alphabet soup agency that you'd have to go through to even get something like that on the market. And the liability if anything went wrong could very well be ferocious.
would love to have 3D printer. especially back in the 90's when I was in to battletech than all I would need to do is get one put it in a 3D scanner and start printing all I need for me and my friends.
Nesquick PT Well, no. You need to have $1 million to consider yourself a millionaire. Having $10k would let you consider yourself to be a "ten-thousandaire". You see how this works now?
I'm a normal person and I might buy this next year. I'll have to eat McDonald for while though lol. Everyone says 10K is expensive, you can spend just a much on any hobby like RC or Photography. Also you do not need but the cleaning station and mixing system, you can make your own for much cheaper.
$3000 for the printer and another $2k-$3k for BOTH the cleaning station and mixing stations and it'd be very reachable. For the $20,000 I need to win the lottery.
If they can get it down to 4-5k, I'd consider it at some point, but daaaamn. Hopefully someone comes out with something with similar abilities, maybe slightly less fancy.
Does the powder fall under the microbead ban? The relevant text; "Microbeads are manufactured solid plastic particles of less than one millimeter in their largest dimension, and commercially available in particle sizes from 10 micrometres (0.00039 in) to 1 millimetre (0.039 in)."
I wonder if there's a way to "post process" those prints and make them smoother. Perhaps another laser pass, using something like those laser rust removers?
This is really exciting, but I would have liked seeing at least a couple of stress tests on the parts, "it's tough" and thumping it aren't really good rubrics by which to judge something like this.

o hi ther wintergaten
i saw it too and make me think WINTERGATAN hahaha
This is so cool! I never thought we'd have "desktop" SLS printers so early. I think more companies will start experimenting with this and making them more compact and cheap.
Great job interviewing. Your questions cover the topic very well. Glad you did no pressure for exact specs on the prototype model.
Very affordable lol also need some big work place to put all those machines in. I'd still with the more conventional cheaper 3d printers for now, hope these get smaller and cheaper over time though.
That's actually badass af. Being able to print while simultaneously intertwining stuff?!?! The future is cool.
This technology has been around since the 80s
Pete's Shredder. True, but you had to soak the parts in resin or cyanoacrylate in postprocessing and the parts were very brittle, you would not do anything structural with them. Now this is made of nylon and the price has gone down by a factor of 10 so it's accessible to small businesses, startups and maker spaces.
The powder is still $200 a kg and you can't reuse more than 50%.

@@salaciousBastard If they are "single moms", then they have children already so why the need to print a fake one?
It's probably still more for pros that for mr everybody, but formlabs pushes the market in the right direction with the Formalbs Fuse 1.
I mean this machine is much more accessible to schools/universities/makerspaces where mr everybody can take advantage of to some extent.
Just got my Form2 running (bought it used from a friend), holy moly I love that printer... I'd love to get my hands on one of these!
I was supposed to order a form 3 yesterday but was sleeping when they called.
Can't wait to have my own consumer grade printer in 10 years!
You can have it now. Fuse 1 costs only 18.000€
Welp, better wait a few more years 😢
I’m from the future and I have one
You can have one now for the mere price of a heart. 🤣 Yea another 5-10 years more to be cheaper and affordable. Even my university can't buy it, well they can buy the materials are expensive as heck too.

China has a SLS desktop, now only $3-6000
Sinterit.com sell good quality SLS 3d printer for less than 5k euro !
You're forgetting about the LISA from Sinterit. Less than 5000 Euro including the support equipment (that self-same support equipment is an additional $10,000 for the FUSE 1). I will admit though that the FUSE 1 seems much easier to use (with cartridge filling, and a removable build area). The LISA is a bit of a faff.
And that doesn't even include the recycle station.
I've used a SLS printer maybe 6 years ago, the prints were extremely brittle but highly detailed
Looks like they've solved the brittle problem, awesome
Yeah i actually wanna see some tests. Like seeing it dropped on the floor from standing height.
Not sure what you were actually looking at 6 years ago but SLS parts are generally pretty good for strength and stiffness compared to other 3d printing processes. Maybe the 'brittle' parts you looked at were actually just really thin and easy to break?
I hope so!!!!

I haven't heard of this type of printing before this video (probably due to price) and it makes me really excited for the future of 3D printing.
What an awesome piece of kit. Simple,clever and far more user and environmentally friendly than resin.
One of the many dream jobs. How cool would it be if you got to design such a revolutionary product? 3D printing is the future!
The way the layers just appear is fucking magical!

When will it ever start shipping is the question, been watching it for years now?
@J Swett Man your big capping
Started shipping this year. We got ours a couple of weeks ago.
Hey, I see a bunch of "Smooth-On" boxes on the shelves!!! I use their stuff for my molds!
Very nice visit, Sean. I can warm my hands on the heat generated within the comments below on your use of the word "normal." Not that I don't agree with you, but we're not quite there yet.

10K for the machine is an amazing price, but I think 9k for the cleaning and mix station is a bit steep.
How often can you "reuse" the powder and how much does it cost to fill the build volume once?
Based on similar systems the max you get is a 50% recycle rate on powder. And if you want good prints its recommended to use pure new powder.
We have been using the sinterit Lisa which is very similar and also uses the more expensive darker absorbing nylon and honestly the first few parts were great and now quality is starting to degrade as we haven’t been too diligent adding refresh material and making sure powder is packed properly.

when can we expect this awesome technique to hit the 2000$ mark this should be in everybody's home!
Glad to see more innovation in this space! Super exciting.
The results from the prints are fcking amazing, im blown with the results 3d printers produce these days
Great piece of kit, and a good 'how-to' review. Great job guys.
Imagine the version that just uses dirt, then you make glasses out of it :)
I'm amazed! Next level tec here.
YES! someone is a Buckaroo Banzai fan. Awesome!
I'll wait 10 years and hope that the tech is so developed that I can pick this thing up for a hundred bucks
For 30k(20k for the machine and stations + 10k for material) I would start a 3d printing business printing tabletop and board game miniatures, pieces for cosplayers and pretty much anything people wanted
Hoorah Brian! that crab is unbelievable!
IT's magic brought to life and pure sci fi like wonderful. Im old now and although Im quite ok with that THIS is the sort of stuff my grandchildren will have to play with and as an artist I really envy them lol
Amazing printer. Can't wait till these get even cheaper.
Watching in May of 2019 and it still isn't out....
July 2020 - still waiting
February 2021 it is out for only 18.000€
End of February (almost March) 2019 and I am still waiting on my printer :( delivery dates got pushed way back again ! Hearing we might have the printer come 2021
Same situation
I worked out that kit was possibly going to be twenty or so grand, went to the comments and boom! There was my answer!
This is legitimately the future.
I want that Hand Tools poster in the back!
He never said "normal people" would own one, he said normal people could have access to one. Right now SLS printing is simply not widely available because machines are hundreds of thousands of dollars.

You’ve had our deposit for like two years lol
Oh well. We’ve bought a 5 axis Haas since. But this would still be great if we had it. Come on Formlabs move your butts! 🇺🇸💯
Why the comparatively small build platform?
The technology is already established.
Add lots of lasers and print a car sized object?
Forget about a gauntlet, print a whole suit.
This is just an incredible technology that truly has the potential to alter the course of history.
can't wait for the ten years from now when this is really consumer technology instead of small bussiness technology :') Still very cool to see though. It's great to see this industry is growing quite strongly.
why would anyone give this kind of video a thumbs down? crazy.
This is next level, I really want one
Finally! I was hoping someone would build a smaller more affordable SLS printer. Spending $120k on a VX200 isn't ideal lol.
Lisa SLS from Sinterit has been available since 2015.
Questions:
-What happens to the unused powder you dont recycle, as you will not be using 50% of the powder in the build printing parts, how is this dispensed from the cleaning station?
-can you switch the machine between PA12 & PA11 powders and if so how much work is involved to clean/decontaminate the machine from the old powder?
-how long does a full build take?
-what accuracy can this machine print to?
the clean up factor will keep this from ever taking off for home use
Really impressive. SLS will become the game changer in 3d consumer printing. What is the price for 1kg of nylon 11/12 powder ???
You can also use that recovery station to clean the cat box.
3:45 Wow! The possibilities.
For SLS 20k is actually cheap. Where I work the SLS machines are 200-700k each...
The fog lights on the jet car printed on the Fuse 1 look kinda mushy compared to the one done by Shapeways on their EOS printers. How does the Z-axis accuracy compare? The price is right for small businesses but not if there are errors in accuracy.
I hope they will come out with a version with a larger build volume. 6.5" is a little short for my taste.
The Shapeways car print print has more detail if you look at the licence plate on the back at 17:20. Not bad for an affordable printer though!
so when is it coming out. I will buy it!... excellent quality!
yes. but u have to make the nanopowder very clean and uniform. then you get the highspeed laser build.
Simply Fantastic!!! InMoov here I come!!!
reminds me of the zcorp printers. that printed colour resin on a layers of plaster of paris. currently under the 3dsystems banner. ProJet CJP 660. see if you can get eyes and hands on one of those. not for the hobbiest market but you can find the old zcorp branded ones on ebay now.

This looks amazing and wish we where like 10-20 years ahead with the price on these things because i think that a price range from 200 to 500 would be ideal for home users
The FIRST? What about Sintratec (shipping Kits since 2015)? Or Sinterit?
His go-to print is the Buckaroo Bonzai car, that rules lol
This printer is amazing. The price may be high, but this is a business printer, not a friend wants you to print a posed Pokemon. I would buy this if I had people to sell to
Cool, now I can print my own butter bot.
Hmm, $10k for it. I'm going to raise an interesting couple of points: The only place I'm seeing offering nylon-12 powder for SLS has it at $150/kg.

Very cool. I do all my preprint (and selling) with Shapeways. This is definitely not a consumer system though.
Very easily a consumer system at this price point. Paying for this machine would take no time at all if you know what you’re doing.
$20,000 might sound expensive to the regular person, but for a small design firm or even a small shop this price is unbelievable
Gonna have to get one of these. Amazing.
Не знаю зачем, но мне теперь уже очень сильно нужен этот принтер)))
I really like the technology behind the printing but all the ancillary equiment needed makes this work is still quite far away from consumer grade.
you dont need the other stuff it just makes it easier.
The Blue Blazer Jet Car! I want one! Buckaroo Banzai! Yes
Impressive tech but how much electricity is required to run a machine like this? What are the running costs? It produces amazing things! Can't wait until someone makes a desktop version of this.
dear Santa, bring a big bag along with ya.
Affordable! Can't wait for these to go on sale :D
When he reached in I was expecting him to scream and pull his hand out with a part profile burned onto the back of his hand.
There would probably be some consumer "protection" alphabet soup agency that you'd have to go through to even get something like that on the market. And the liability if anything went wrong could very well be ferocious.
Because you are essentialy burning the "tattoo" into the skin. Which will fuck you up.
would love to have 3D printer. especially back in the 90's when I was in to battletech than all I would need to do is get one put it in a 3D scanner and start printing all I need for me and my friends.
Fuse one is not first consumer accessible SLS 3d printer! For more than a year Sinterit.com sell its SLS printer. Now the price is less than 5k euro.
It costs 10K but it is the First consumer SLS Printer he said -.-'' If I had 10K right now I would consider myself millionaire.

Well, no. You need to have $1 million to consider yourself a millionaire. Having $10k would let you consider yourself to be a "ten-thousandaire". You see how this works now?
Looks great!
Man, I want this. But 20G + materials is pretty rich. Nothing like the six-figure commercial ones, though.
This was a really cool video.
I'm a normal person and I might buy this next year. I'll have to eat McDonald for while though lol. Everyone says 10K is expensive, you can spend just a much on any hobby like RC or Photography. Also you do not need but the cleaning station and mixing system, you can make your own for much cheaper.
True and crazy 3d printer hobby people have like 3-4 printers that add up to 10k+ anyway... lol.
Same price as a loaded out Tormach.
Yeah fuck that, I would rather get a fully loaded PNC770 with an ATC and Drawbar.
This guy's sense of home use market is vastly skewed. $3000 would be more in the ballpark, and that's still a lot to lay down for most people.
SpeckyNation he just means that it's not only industrial
it's roughly a factor of 10 cheaper than other SLS machines currently available, I say that's a first step into the right direction ;-)
Although you won't be seeing these pop up in many peoples' garages, they could conceivably be set up in maker spaces.
$3000 for the printer and another $2k-$3k for BOTH the cleaning station and mixing stations and it'd be very reachable. For the $20,000 I need to win the lottery.
If they can get it down to 4-5k, I'd consider it at some point, but daaaamn. Hopefully someone comes out with something with similar abilities, maybe slightly less fancy.
Amazing and wonderful creative tech!
Looks good! But what happens when you inhale the powder?
Does the powder fall under the microbead ban? The relevant text; "Microbeads are manufactured solid plastic particles of less than one millimeter in their largest dimension, and commercially available in particle sizes from 10 micrometres (0.00039 in) to 1 millimetre (0.039 in)."
Incredible. I need one.
came for the car, stayed for the printer xD
why they didn't make the recovery and the mixing station in one unit. nevertheless this is amazing
Okay, so I want this way more than I want an SLA printer,m and I really want an SLA printer
I wonder if there's a way to "post process" those prints and make them smoother. Perhaps another laser pass, using something like those laser rust removers?
Vapor smoothing
This is really exciting, but I would have liked seeing at least a couple of stress tests on the parts, "it's tough" and thumping it aren't really good rubrics by which to judge something like this.
April 2018 and I am still waiting on my printer :( delivery dates got pushed way back
there is no why to use it as a mass production process right? how fast does these machines print? I'd imagine that glove takes 15-20 hours?
