Why Choose Fuse Blast

Fuse Blast delivers 100% hands-off cleaning and polishing for SLS parts.


Finished Parts In 15 Minutes

Cleaning routines automatically post-process an entire build chamber in as little as 15 minutes, while the passive filtering reduces media saturation and extends media life to save on overhead costs.


Consistent Results

Pre-programmed routines take out the guesswork for consistent results, while manual mode allows you to adapt to any part requirements.


Professional Parts

Deliver clean-to-the-touch parts thanks to the in-line ionizer that prevents dust and media from re-settling on your parts, or get the most out of your SLS prints with the Fuse Blast Polishing System for smooth, semi-gloss, scuff-resistant, and dye-ready surface finishes.
