1 Preface
Congratulations on purchasing the Fuse Blast. On behalf of the Formlabs team, we thank you
for your purchase.
The Fuse Blast is an automatic media blasting station for SLS printed parts, specifically
designed for the Formlabs Fuse Series ecosystem. It oers automatic media blasting that
provides a hands-o workflow for cleaning residual powder, removing Surface Armor, and
surfacing SLS printed parts. Manual mode allows for careful manipulation and cleaning of
delicate or oversized parts using the built-in glovebox. An in-line ionizer rinses o abrasive dust
and residual powder and leaves parts clean to the touch and ready for end-use. Passive media
filtering separates worn media and powder and significantly extends media life to reduce
waste. A fully sealed enclosure with a HEPA filter, cabinet rinse procedure, and quiet operation
provides an oce-friendly package and minimizes powder mess. Presets and configurable
time, RPM, and pressure settings allow for repeatable, reliable results.
This manual explains how to set up, use, and properly maintain the Fuse Blast, as well as
providing design guidance for optimizing print results.
The manual is intended for anyone who is installing, operating, maintaining, or otherwise
interacting with the Fuse Blast. Supervise young or inexperienced users to ensure enjoyable
and safe operation.
