Fuse Sift filters, measures, mixes, and stores powder for you, while Fuse Blast delivers 100% hands-off part cleaning and polishing.
FUSE SIFT Features & Benefits
Compact & efficient powder management station.
- RECLAIM
Parts are extracted from the FUSE 1+ 30W SLS printer, and unsintered powder is collected and sifted to remove debris so it can be reused. - PREPARE
New and used powder are automatically measured, mixed with fresh powder, and stored for the next print.
Enclosed System
FUSE SIFT has a HEPA filter and a negative air pressure system that keeps powder inside, enabling open access and easy cleanup.
- Dimensions
- 1.0 m x 0.6 m x 1.5 m
- 39.9 in x 24 in x 60.8 in
Low Waste
Fuse Sift efficiently collects unsintered powder and filters out debris to be reused in the next print. Competitive material recyclability allows you to use up to 80% used powder.
MATERIAL REFRESH RATE: 20 – 50%
Automatic Powder Mixing
- Fuse Sift will dispense, mix, and store used and new powder automatically. This way, you can reduce waste and control your powder supply easily.
Nonstop Printing
- By transferring modular build chambers and powder cartridges between the printer and Fuse Sift, you can reduce downtime for a continuous, cyclical workflow with minimum downtime – even during cooldown
