The Fuse Blast System provides everything needed to polish and finish SLS 3D prints efficiently. It compacts surfaces to preserve fine details while supporting a smooth, reliable, and consistent post-processing workflow.

The Fuse Blast System is engineered to streamline post-processing of SLS 3D printed parts, helping you polish, clean, and finish prints efficiently. Designed for use with Formlabs SLS workflows, this automated blasting system uses durable polishing media to produce smooth, semi-gloss surfaces while preserving part details. Fuse Blast Care ensures your system stays maintained for consistent, reliable performance.

Optimized Polishing Performance
The system’s high-pressure media blasting efficiently compacts surfaces, reducing roughness and producing consistent, professional-quality finishes across multiple parts. Fuse Blast Care helps keep the system running smoothly, supporting long-term reliability and optimal blasting conditions.

Safe, Controlled Operation
Unlike manual finishing methods, the Fuse Blast System minimizes the risk of part damage. It polishes surfaces uniformly while preserving fine features, delivering high-quality, customer-ready results.

Efficient, Reliable Workflow
Built for continuous use, the system supports batch polishing and extended sessions with minimal oversight. Fuse Blast Care simplifies maintenance, keeping media clean and the system operating efficiently for repeated use.

Seamless Integration with SLS Post-Processing
Formulated to work with Formlabs SLS printers, the Fuse Blast System integrates smoothly into existing workflows. The system and accompanying care tools help maintain an organized workspace while delivering consistent surface quality for professional prints.
