Case Study
“With the increased throughput and decreased costs, Fuse X1 has completely changed our perspective on what kinds of projects our lab can support versus what we would have traditionally moved to an injection mold.”
Purple Platypus Service & Training
With over 40 years of combined experience servicing Industrial 3D printers, our team of technicians brings unmatched knowledge and dedication. With this knowledge we also offer comprehensive training courses to get the most out of your printer.
We are committed to helping customers maximize the performance of their printers. Built on trust and expertise, we value the long-term relationships we’ve established and remain focused on strengthening those connections.
More Parts Per Build
With 30%+ packing density and a 61.5 L build volume, the Fuse X1 maximizes part output per build, enabling the production of thousands more parts per week while reducing the number of print cycles required.
The Complete Workflow
STEP 1
The Fuse X1 enables same-day prototype printing and, in under 24 hours, the large-scale manufacturing of durable end-use parts.
STEP 2
Depowder
The Fuse Sift X1 is an all-in-one powder management station that combines part extraction, powder recovery, storage, and mixing, greatly reducing powder waste.
STEP 3
Finish
The Fuse Blast is an advanced automated finishing solution that quickly removes powder and consistently delivers professional parts that are clean to the touch.
AI-Powered Print Failure Prevention
Case Study
“With Fuse X1, we can now print an entire Flyer Loop cargo ebike overnight and be gluing it together the next day. So we went from two months to two weeks to a couple of days.”
