Farsoon Hits Milestone with 150 Large-Format Metal 3D Printers Sold
When industrial metal 3D printing gets serious, Farsoon writes the rulebook. The company has just reached an impressive milestone: 150 large-format metal printers sold to industries where the margin for error is measured in micrometers. 🏭
With systems featuring up to 10 simultaneous lasers and build chambers exceeding one cubic meter, these technological beasts are redefining what it means to manufacture big in 3D.
From Prototypes to Mass Production
What started as rapid prototyping technology now manufactures final components for airplanes, high-performance cars, and energy turbines. The secret: multiple lasers working in parallel, reducing build times by up to 70% compared to conventional systems.
- Precision: Tolerances of ±50μm even on parts over 1m
- Materials: From titanium to superior nickel alloys
- Productivity: Up to 150cm³/h of material deposited
The Software That Makes the Miracle Possible
Behind these giant printers are packages like 3DXpert from 3D Systems and Farsoon's Build Processor, which optimize every aspect of the process, from part orientation to laser scan patterns. Because when you print a part that would cost half a million to replace, every parameter counts.
So the next time you fly on a plane, remember: that critical engine component might have been born in a 3D printer as big as your living room. The Industry 4.0 revolution isn't coming... it's already here, and it has multiple lasers. 🔥
