Formlabs Fuse Blast: Reinventing SLS Post-Processing

Selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing has rapidly emerged as a go-to solution for fabricating durable, industrial-quality parts. However, as adoption expands across industries, post-processing solutions have failed to advance simultaneously. Affordable options require extensive manual labour, and automated systems carry exorbitant price tags, often over £100,000. Formlabs are going all-out
