Watch the overview

Hands-on at Formlabs in Boston

We ran the Fuse X1 at Formlabs HQ during their Partner Summit: loading powder, rolling the build unit into the Sift X1, finishing in the Blast, and comparing pack density against an HP MJF 5200-series build.

The rest of the X1 cell

An X1 build holds a lot of powder and a lot of parts. These are the machines that get both out of the chamber and back into production. We quote them together with the printer.

Swap

Fuse X1 Build Unit

Roll the finished build out, roll the next one in. The finished unit cools on its own insulation, off the printer, while the next job runs.

Fuse Sift X1

Transport

Vacuum Conveyor & Mix Kit

Moves powder between the Sift X1 and the Mix Kit, so nobody's hauling powder by hand.

Why Fuse X1

Industrial SLS through a standard door

Industry estimates put an EOS P3 NEXT at $400,000 and up and an HP Jet Fusion 5210 at $500,000 and up. Formlabs publishes the Fuse X1 price: $84,999 for the printer.

61.5 L

Big parts, or thousands of small ones

330 x 330 x 565mm is 7.5x the Fuse 1+ build volume, with room for parts up to 713mm long. Or nest hundreds of small parts in one build. Tesla's Giga Nevada team prints 20,000 parts a month on the X1.

13 zones

Pack it full without losing parts

Adaptive Thermal Control runs 13 independently heated zones off a thermal camera, taking in 700x more thermal data per second than the Fuse 1+ 30W. That's what lets you pack past 30% density without cold spots ruining parts at the edge of the build.

Print Intelligence

One bad part doesn't kill the build

Computer vision watches every layer. When it finds an anomaly, it masks the affected area and the rest of the build keeps printing. You lose one part, not the whole build.

Single-phase

No facility project

208–240V single-phase, 50A, and it fits through a standard door. Formlabs quotes about an hour to install and five minutes to start a print, not the three-phase-power-plus-facility-retrofit project legacy SLS usually turns into.

What fits in one build

One chamber, three ways to fill it

Pack it dense for a production run, mix part types for a week of shop requests, or print a few full-size prototypes overnight. Same 61.5 L chamber, no supports in any of them.

Production batch

3,280 mixer latches · 41.5 hours · 41% packed by mass

High-mix build

Cost per part

Cheaper than legacy SLS. Way cheaper than outsourcing.

Formlabs priced four real parts on the Fuse X1, on a legacy industrial SLS system, and outsourced. The X1 came in lowest every time, from a 50-cent latch to a full car door.

Fuse X1 vs. industrial SLS and MJF

Fuse X1 vs. HP Jet Fusion, EOS P3 NEXT, 3D Systems, Stratasys & Farsoon

This is a PA 12 comparison, because that's what this class of machine is bought to run. Changing powders on a production powder bed printer means emptying it, cleaning out every trace of the old material, and dialing in the new one, so most shops dedicate a machine to one powder for years. Every number below is from the manufacturer's own published specs.

Packing

The number that sets your part cost

An empty chamber costs as much to run as a full one. Formlabs publishes 30%+ for the X1. Stratasys publishes about 12% standard and up to 40% optimized. HP's own cost-per-part notes for the 5200 and 5600 assume 7–10%. EOS, 3D Systems, and Farsoon don't publish a maximum at all.

Refresh

HP wins this one. Here's the rest of it.

HP refreshes PA 12 at 20%, better than the X1's 30%. But every MJF build also burns fusing and detailing agents and wears printheads. Stratasys SAF PA 12 and EOS PA 2220 HighReuse both run 30%, same as the X1. EOS doesn't publish a rate for PA 2200, the powder most EOS machines actually run.

Power

The spec that stops deals

Of the machines 40 L and up, the X1 is the only one on single-phase power. It still needs a hardwired 50A circuit, nitrogen, compressed air, and 24/7 HVAC, so you'll call an electrician. You won't call in a three-phase service upgrade or a ducted exhaust project.

3 questions

Ask every vendor, including us

What's your maximum packing density, in writing? What's the refresh rate on the powder I'll actually run, not your newest one? And what's the cooling time, not just the print time? Then price the whole setup (printer, sifting, powder handling, blasting) against the whole setup.

Competitor figures are from each manufacturer's published specifications as of September 2026. Farsoon's build volume is for its tall-cylinder configuration. Prices are manufacturer-published only; most of this category is quote-only. Printer images from Formlabs.

Floor space

Half the floor of legacy SLS

The Fuse X1 takes 1.3 m². An HP Jet Fusion 5600 takes 2.80 m² and an EOS P3 NEXT takes 2.70 m². The X1 rolls through a standard doorway and runs on single-phase power, so you don't rebuild the room to fit it.

FAQ

Fuse X1 questions

Does it need nitrogen?

Yes. The X1 prints in nitrogen from an external supply: a generator or bulk gas. We'll help you spec it with the rest of the cell.

What does the room need?

A hardwired 208–240V single-phase, 50A circuit, a nitrogen supply, compressed air, and HVAC that runs 24/7. You'll call an electrician, but there's no three-phase service and no ducted exhaust.

How does the Fuse X1 compare to the HP Jet Fusion 5600 or EOS P3 NEXT?

On PA 12: the X1 has a bigger chamber than the HP 5600 (61.5 L vs 41 L) and slightly smaller than the EOS P3 NEXT (~69 L). It publishes 30%+ packing density where HP and EOS publish none, runs on single-phase power where both need three-phase, and takes 1.3 m² of floor against 2.80 m² and 2.70 m². HP refreshes PA 12 at 20% to the X1's 30%. Formlabs publishes the X1 price at $84,999; HP and EOS are quote-only. See the full comparison above.

Which materials can I print today?

Nylon 12 now. Formlabs lists Nylon 11 for Q1 2027 and Nylon 12 GF and TPU 90A by June 2027. Open Material Mode runs third-party powders.

Do I need the Fuse Sift X1?

For production, yes. An X1 build holds far more powder than you want to break out by hand, and the Sift X1 keeps it contained and moving back into the next build.

Is installation included?

Install and training are quoted separately. We quote them with the printer so you see the all-in number up front.

When can I get one?

We're taking orders now. An order placed today will most likely ship in Q1 2027. Call 833-774-6863 for the current lead time.

Let's spec your X1 cell.
