Fuse Sift

$9,999.00

The Fuse Sift provides everything needed to safely collect, filter, and recycle unused powder from SLS 3D prints. It preserves material quality while supporting a smooth, reliable, and consistent post-processing workflow.

The Fuse Sift is engineered to simplify post-processing of SLS 3D printed parts by efficiently recycling and sieving unused powder. Designed for use with Formlabs Fuse SLS workflows, this system helps maintain clean, reusable powder while ensuring consistent print quality and safe handling.

Optimized Powder Management
Fuse Sift streamlines the collection and filtration of unused powder, helping produce clean, ready-to-use material for future prints. Consistent powder quality improves downstream post-processing, including finishing, dyeing, or assembly.

Safe, Controlled Handling
Unlike manual powder handling that can create spills or uneven sieving, Fuse Sift provides a controlled, enclosed system for collecting and filtering powder safely, reducing contamination and preserving material quality.

Efficient, Reliable Workflow
Built for repeated use, the system supports continuous powder recycling and sieving with minimal oversight, helping streamline your workflow and reduce post-processing time.

Seamless Integration with SLS Post-Processing
Formulated to work directly with Formlabs Fuse printers, Fuse Sift organizes powder collection and filtration in one compact system, maintaining a clean, safe workspace while supporting consistent, high-quality print results.
