Formlabs Fuse Blast

Fuse Blast delivers 100% hands-off cleaning and polishing for SLS parts

Achieve professional, consistent parts that are clean to the touch faster and easier than ever before with Fuse Blast, an easy-to-use, fully automated cleaning and polishing solution for post-processing SLS 3D printed parts.

Fuse Blast seamlessly integrates into the Fuse Series ecosystem and streamlines your post-processing workflow, empowering you to fully clean a whole build chamber of printed parts in as little as 15 minutes and drastically reducing labor time and cost. With the optional Polishing System, Fuse Blast takes your parts to another level by polishing them to a smooth, semi-gloss, and dye-ready surface finish, to deliver consistent, professional-grade results every time.

Finished Parts In 15 Minutes

Cleaning routines automatically post-process an entire build chamber in as little as 15 minutes, while the passive filtering reduces media saturation and extends media life to save on overhead costs.

Consistent Results

Pre-programmed routines take out the guesswork for consistent results, while manual mode allows you to adapt to any part requirements.

Professional Parts

Deliver clean-to-the-touch parts thanks to the in-line ionizer that prevents dust and media from re-settling on your parts, or go the extra mile with the optional polishing function for a smooth, semi-gloss, and dye-ready surface finish.
