Farsoon Flight® 403P Series: Advanced SLS 3D Printer for High-Performance Polymer Materials

Introducing FLIGHT® Technology. Farsoon is a leader in SLS 3D printers and one of the first to develop production-targeted Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) solutions using robust fiber lasers. The FLIGHT® Technology enables the next level of selective laser sintering 3D printing, offering industrial-quality parts with extremely fine details. This SLS laser 3D printer eliminates the need for additive agents, consumables, and reduces operational costs while supporting sustainable manufacturing.

Discover FLIGHT® 403P Series System

• Feed Cartridge
  
  The FLIGHT® 403P Series features exchangeable build and feed cartridges that allow for rapid cartridge swaps, reducing machine downtime and maximizing production efficiency.
• Build Cartridge

  Farsoon’s FLIGHT® 403P system is equipped with an exchangeable build cartridge that works in conjunction with Farsoon’s External Cooling Station to ensure dimensional accuracy and mechanical performance of the finished parts.

• Breakout Station

  The FS04-PPS Breakout Station ensures safe powder handling for SLS 3D printing. It features an enclosed chamber with integrated gloves for efficient powder removal and a built-in sieving screen.

• External Cooling Station

  The External Cooling Station provides efficient cooling and shortens production time by cooling parts outside the main system under inert gas, improving machine up-time.

• External Cooling Box

  The FS-EC-02P Cooling Box enhances turnaround time, cooling parts under controlled inert gas conditions to ensure uniform cooling for high-quality end-use parts.

• Powder Management System

  The Powder Management System (PMS) streamlines the process of recycling powder, mixing new powder, powder sieving, and storage, reducing downtime while improving throughput in polymer 3D printing.

• Powder Delivery Unit

  The Powder Delivery Unit (PDU) transports powder directly to the printer, ensuring seamless integration with the build cartridge for optimal SLS 3D printing performance.

Farsoon Flight® 403P Series Industrial 3D printer Advantages

Powerful single 500-watt fiber laser enable superior production speed

Industrial-scale build envelope up to 400 x 400 x 540 mm

Featured details as small as 0.3mm

Fast

With robust laser power, improved energy distribution to the material and smaller laser spot size, the new FLIGHT@ Technology achieves significantly higher power density upon reaching the surface of the powder bed, thus enabling the full sintering of powder in an extremely short amount of time. With scanning speed of over 20m/s (66 ft/s), FLIGHT® Technology is able to achieve extreme sintering speeds that pushes the additive manufacturing productivity to a new level.

Production Ready

Application of FLIGHT@ Technology on Farsoorfs flagship production system 4Q3P series leads to a powerful, yet versatile polymer additive production. The FLIGHT® 4Q3P series is offered in muhiple productiorvsized build cylinder for improved throughput and high- temperature-capable configuration. Like all Farsoon systems, the new Flight® 403P Series is truly open with machine parameters and powder choice are unlocked for the users allowing for unparalleled freedom and operational flexibility.

Fine Detail

FLIGHT@ Technology is able to achieve a more homogenous energy distribution over the processing surface, and a finer spot size compared to the standard laser sintering systems, while at the same time ensuring good energy penetration throughout the entire process. This results in improved feature detail compared to other plastic powder-based technologies with feature details as small as 0.3mm (0.012 inch) while still achieving the part property benefits of standard laser sintering.

Fiber

FLIGHT@ Technology or FIBER LIGHT@ Technology takes advantage of powerful fiber lasers in place of the standard C02 lasers found in standard laser sintering systems. A fiber system is capable of delivering greatly increased power to the powder bed. Due to the more robust and stable nature of a fiber laser system as compared to a C02 system FLIGHT@ Technology also provides increased laser longevity which is key when considering RO I for manufacturing applications.

Industrial Applications with Flight® 403P Series

The optimal performance of FLIGHT® 403P Series combining extreme sintering speed and high feature resolution has opened up many potential markets and applications for true series production, such as electronic components, robotics, specialized tools & models, battery units, filter modules as well as many consumer products.
