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

Wonderful machine!! absolute workhorse

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.

HP mjf software has 3 dimensional nesting of parts in the build chamber. Does form labs have something similar

How much time to preheat the Fuse 1? I know an SLS printer's preheat time is over 60mins...

[urbanaerials]

the real question is what was the sticky note covering on the form2 stlye desktop ;)

[alext]

pretty neat, what other materials will be available?

[swinksstuff]

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?

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!

Would you launch white powders, so we can dye them?

[sheldonthomas]

I thought the printer itself was supposed to cost $9, 999.00?

[AngelVenomous]

So you pay 25k and you clean the prints with a toothbrush???!!! Fuse shift is almost useless, just for recycling!
