Awesome video! I just got a sample of the nylon 12 powder. It's a Formlabs hardcase with business card inside. The texture feel so different, gritty but it doesn't flake away. I'm really impressed but probably can't afford the machine.
You state it took 52 hrs to print. How much time to post process? Looks labor intensive. Do you have an automated tumbler or other station to automate this? What is the cost per cubic inch or cm3 for the material? ? Understood capital investment plus labor and facility costs are extra.
Hi Jady. Thinglab have Fuse 1 printers on the way and we expect the first units to land in Australia in around 6 weeks. We have already started taking orders and as you would expect there is a lot of demand. Feel free to reach out to us if you would like a quotation or any other information on the Fuse 1.
because of the wavelength of the fiber laser they have to use grey nylon so that it can absorb the laser's energy. White powder would require a different laser configuration
What was the packing density of the build volume with 102 mixer clips? What is the recommended maximum packing Density? My Fuse 1 is ordered and should be here in about 4 weeks!
Our Workflow Essentials Package including the Fuse 1, Fuse Sift, Printer Stand, Build Chamber, Powder Cartridge, and 3x Nylon 12 Powder 6kg costs $29,743.00. You can also configure your own custom package at bit.ly/3aAYobL
Not really. The 'Fuse Sift' is also a powder recovery and mixing unit. This is a big advantage over others such as the Sinterit Lisa range. You really need to control the recovery process well, to avoid airborne dust. The Sift also filters this possibility. The downside is you also need a £3k explosion proof vac for clearing the Sift.

My lab just purchased one of these & we've started doing testing prints. I am blown away by the capabilities of this machine.

How much time to preheat the Fuse 1? I know an SLS printer's preheat time is over 60mins...
HP mjf software has 3 dimensional nesting of parts in the build chamber. Does form labs have something similar
pretty neat, what other materials will be available?
Nylon 11 will be coming soon. Many other materials are also in development.
@@Formlabs Do you have details about your Nylon 11?
the real question is what was the sticky note covering on the form2 stlye desktop ;)
Our secret formula 🧪
How much did the powder used cost?
looks awesome and ready to buy one but sadly Australian resellers said it won't be ready until end of 2021 or early 2022 - is this correct?

Would you launch white powders, so we can dye them?
Because of the kind of laser they are using they need darker powder to absorb the laser
because of the wavelength of the fiber laser they have to use grey nylon so that it can absorb the laser's energy. White powder would require a different laser configuration
What was the packing density of the build volume with 102 mixer clips? What is the recommended maximum packing Density? My Fuse 1 is ordered and should be here in about 4 weeks!
31%. Recommended is about 30%.
I thought the printer itself was supposed to cost $9,999.00?

@@Formlabs is that USD?
Also what is the cost per 6kg?
@@swinksstuff you can get nylon powder from china for $10/kg
@@swinksstuff around £100-120 per kilo. And no, you cannot use any other powder, even cheap Chinese stuff.
Can I trade a kidney for one of those
They will only accept pairs!
So you pay 25k and you clean the prints with a toothbrush???!!! Fuse shift is almost useless, just for recycling!
