Unlock Industrial-Grade Manufacturing with the Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W
When you’re ready to take control of your production, the Fuse 1+ 30W gives you the power of Selective Laser Sintering—right in your own workspace. No more long lead times. No more outsourcing. Just high-performance parts when you need them.
Trusted by Australian Innovators. Backed by Local Experts.
Thinglab has been at the forefront of 3D printing in Australia for over 15 years. We’re proud to be Formlabs’ longest-standing SLS partner in Australia and recently named Formlabs’ Best SLS Reseller in Asia for the second time. Our experience means you get more than a machine—you get a partner who understands your needs and is here to support your growth.
In today’s fast-paced Australian market, businesses face challenges from complex supply chains, high tooling costs for traditional manufacturing, and the constant pressure for rapid innovation. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing offers a powerful solution, enabling on-demand production of strong, functional parts, custom manufacturing, and significantly faster design iteration cycles. An accessible and robust system like the Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W empowers local businesses to overcome these hurdles and bring cutting-edge products to market faster.
Compact Desktop SLS System
Local Australian Support
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing (AM) technology that uses a high-power laser to fuse small particles of polymer powder (typically nylon) layer by layer, building a solid three-dimensional object from a digital design. Unlike other 3D printing methods, SLS doesn’t require support structures, as the surrounding unsintered powder supports the part during the printing process. This allows for the creation of highly complex geometries and intricate internal features.
The result is strong, functional parts with excellent mechanical properties, suitable for rigorous prototyping and end-use applications.
Achieving high-quality, end-use SLS parts involves a streamlined workflow. The Formlabs Fuse ecosystem, including the Fuse 1+ 30W printer and Fuse Sift, simplifies this process for Australian users.
Easily set up your printer and achieve fast printing thanks to the 30W laser. Print same-day prototypes and enable small series manufacturing of durable end-use parts in under 24 hours.
Formlabs Fuse +1 30W
Our all-in-one powder management station combines part extraction, powder recovery, storage, and mixing in a single device. Fuse Sift will dispense and mix used and new powder automatically so you can reduce waste and control your powder supply
Formlabs Fuse Sift
Clean: Choose between automatic or manual cleaning to deliver professional parts that are clean to the touch.Polish: The Fuse Blast Polishing System allows you to take it to another level with customer-ready parts that exhibit a smooth, semi-gloss surface finish.
Formlabs Fuse Blast
Print intricate geometries, internal channels, and moving parts without the need for support structures. The surrounding powder provides natural support.
SLS produces parts from robust engineering thermoplastics like Nylon, making them suitable for functional testing and end-use applications.
Nylon (PA11, PA12) offers a great balance of strength, flexibility, and resistance to chemicals and heat. Reinforced options like Nylon 11 CF add even greater stiffness.
Multiple parts can be printed simultaneously within the build volume, maximising throughput and efficiency.
Ideal for producing custom parts, jigs, fixtures, and small to medium production runs without the high upfront costs of injection molding.
The Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W brings the industrial power of Selective Laser Sintering to your Australian workshop, design studio, or educational institution at an accessible price point. It’s engineered for high performance, ease of use, and efficient material consumption, making it the benchmark for desktop SLS 3D printing.
High-Power 30W Laser
Enables faster print speeds and unlocks new material capabilities like Nylon 11 CF.
Compact Footprint
Fits seamlessly into Australian workshops, universities, and design studios without requiring extensive infrastructure.
Active Powder Handling
Efficient material usage with up to 70% powder recyclability, reducing cost per part.
User-Friendly Workflow
Intuitive PreForm software and streamlined hardware make operation simple, even for new users.
Reliable & Consistent Performance
Delivers industrial-quality parts print after print.
Reduce reliance on overseas suppliers. Bring production of custom parts, jigs, and fixtures in-house, strengthening Australia’s manufacturing capabilities.
Perfect for Australian universities, research institutions, and product development teams needing rapid iteration and functional prototypes.
Justify the investment for Australian SMEs by producing high-quality prototypes and end-use parts efficiently, reducing overall project costs.
Manufacturing firms can significantly reduce lead times for custom jigs and fixtures by implementing advanced additive manufacturing solutions, thereby improving overall production line efficiency.
Design studios can accelerate consumer product design iterations multiple times over by utilising in-house 3D printing capabilities to create functional prototypes suitable for field testing.
Automotive suppliers (and other manufacturers) can produce durable, complex end-use components for niche applications or low-volume demands, effectively avoiding expensive traditional tooling costs.
