Formlabs Fuse 1 SLS Powder
Nylon Powders
3D print production-ready, end-use parts on the Fuse 1 with our family of Nylon SLS Powder. Our materials, hardware, and software are developed and validated together to deliver peak performance while optimizing cost per part.
Nylon 12 SLS Powder
A Material That Does It All
Balancing strength and detail, Nylon 12 Powder is a highly capable material for both functional prototyping and end-use production of complex assemblies and durable parts with high environmental stability. Our Nylon 12 Powder is specifically developed for use on the Fuse 1.
- TENSILE STRENGTH: 50MPa
- ELONGATION AT BREAK (X/Y): 11%
- REFRESH RATE: 30%
Nylon 12 SLS Powder is ideal for:
- High performance prototyping
- Small batch manufacturing
- Permanent jigs, fixtures, and tooling
- Biocompatible, sterilisable parts*
* Material properties may vary based on part design and manufacturing practices. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to validate the suitability of the printed parts for the intended use.
Nylon 12 GF SLS Powder
Stiff, Stable, Functional Parts
A glass-filled material with enhanced stiffness and thermal stability for demanding industrial environments. Choose Nylon 12 GF Powder to produce stiff functional prototypes or end-use parts for applications where structural rigidity and thermal stability are critical.
- TENSILE MODULUS: 2800MPa
- HEAT DEFLECTION TEMPERATURE@ 1.8MPA: 113°C
- REFRESH RATE: 30-50%
Nylon 12 GF Powder is ideal for:
- Robust jigs and fixtures and replacement parts
- Parts undergoing sustained loading
- Threads and sockets
- Parts subjected to elevated temperatures
* Material properties may vary based on part design and manufacturing practices. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to validate the suitability of the printed parts for the intended use.
Nylon 11 SLS Powder
High Performance, High Impact
For highly ductile, robust parts, Nylon 11 Powder is our higher performance nylon material for functional prototyping and small batch production. Compared to Nylon 12 Powder, our Nylon 11 Powder is more flexible, less brittle, and better at printing thin walls.
- TENSILE STRENGTH: 49MPa
- ELONGATION AT BREAK (X/Y): 40%
- REFRESH RATE: 50%
Nylon 11 SLS Powder is ideal for:
- Impact-resistant prototypes, jigs, and fixtures
- Thin-walled ducts and enclosures
- Snaps, clips, and hinges
- Orthotics and prosthetics*
* Material properties may vary based on part design and manufacturing practices. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to validate the suitability of the printed parts for the intended use.
Make the most of your material with simple, efficient powder recycling.
What is refresh rate?
The ability of an SLS 3D printer to print with a mix of new and recycled powder. The powder refresh rate is the minimum ratio of fresh powder required to print.
30% (Refresh Rate) -> 70% (Recycled Powder)
How it works
Just set the desired refresh rate on the touchscreen and the Fuse Sift powder recovery station will automatically mix and dose powder to be reused in future prints.
“In automotive, it is important that you deliver the highest possible quality at the best price possible. At the moment, anything under 10,000 parts per year could be printed in SLS. With the Fuse 1, we have a very capable product, at a very competitive price.”
