Formlabs Announces New Fuse X1: Industrial-Grade High-Capacity SLS 3D Printing at a Fraction of the Cost

Somerville, MA — June 9, 2026 — Formlabs, a leading manufacturer of professional SLA and SLS 3D printers, announced the new Fuse X1. Designed for manufacturers, engineering teams, and product developers, the Fuse X1 is a groundbreaking industrial-scale SLS 3D printing system that makes high-throughput additive manufacturing more accessible.

It is priced from $97,499, with orders open today and shipments scheduled for Q4 2026.

Companies such as Tesla, Radio Flyer, and Autotiv Manufacturing participated in an early access program, utilizing the Fuse X1 to accelerate development and increase production capacity. The system enables reliable, scalable, and decentralized manufacturing at a lower cost.

Max Lobovsky, co-founder and CEO of Formlabs, stated: "From day one, Formlabs has focused on creating tools that allow anyone to bring their ideas to life. The Fuse X1 provides industrial-scale SLS printing to a broader market, offering the ability to compete with traditional mass production. It no longer requires $500,000 in funding or dedicated facilities."

Compared to equivalent industrial powder bed fusion printers, the Fuse X1 reduces part costs by up to 50% and increases build speeds by 3x, enabling production-quality parts within 24 hours. Its compact footprint fits through standard doors, sets up in approximately one hour, and runs on standard single-phase power without needing specialized HVAC.

Key Specs: - Maximum build volume: 330 × 330 × 565 mm - Packing density: Over 30% - Footprint: Less than half of traditional industrial printers - Features: AI-assisted print failure prevention - Workflow: 1-hour setup, 5-minute material changeover

The system features new automated thermal management with 13 independent thermal zones to maintain precise, stable conditions throughout the build chamber, allowing for unrestricted packing. Additionally, the AI-assisted "Print Intelligence™" uses computer vision to monitor build layers, detecting and excluding defects in real-time to save time and materials.

The Fuse X1 ecosystem includes the printer, Fuse X1 Build Unit, Fuse Sift X1 for powder recovery, Vacuum Conveyor, and the Fuse Blast High Capacity Kit for powder removal and polishing.
