Farsoon Flight® 403P-2 Series - Advanced SLS 3D Printer for Industrial Applications

FIBER

Equipped with powerful fiber lasers instead of standard CO2 lasers, the Flight® HT403P SLS 3D printer delivers significantly increased power to the powder bed. This robust and stable fiber laser system ensures improved laser longevity, essential for ROI in manufacturing applications. The selective laser sintering 3D printer is ideal for high-performance polymer 3D printing, including nylon 3D printing.

FAST

With enhanced laser power, improved energy distribution, and a smaller laser spot size, Flight® Technology achieves full sintering of powder in a significantly shorter time. Featuring scanning speeds over 20m/s (66 ft/s) and a large build volume, the SLS laser 3D printer optimizes production speed for 3D printing polymer materials, pushing additive manufacturing productivity to new heights.

OPEN PLATFORM

Like all Farsoon systems, the Flight® HT403P offers fully open machine parameters and material choices. The selective laser sintering printer supports a wide range of processable materials, offering the flexibility needed for future SLS 3D printing applications in industries like automotive, aerospace, and consumer products. This flexibility allows 3D printing with nylon, polypropylene 3D printing, and peek 3D printing.

DUAL-LASER CONFIGURATION

For faster production turnaround, the dual-laser configuration uses two powerful 300-watt fiber lasers and dynamic optical systems, creating ultra-fine laser spots with fast scanning speeds. This setup provides 50-90% higher production volume rates than single-laser systems and 3-4 times higher production yield compared to a CO2 laser SLS 3D printer.

FIBER

Equiped with powerful fiber lasers in place of the standard CO2 lasers, Flight® HT403P is capable of delivering greatly increased power to the powder bed. Due to the more robust and stable nature of a fiber laser system, Flight® Technology also provides improved laser longevity which is key when considering ROI for manufacturing applications.

DUAL-LASER CONFIGURATION

To further increase the manufacturing turn-over rate, the dual-laser configuration for Flight® technology takes advantage of two powerful 300-watt Fiber lasers and two dynamic optical systems, creating two ultra-fine laser spots with fast scanning speed. The new dual-laser configuration can offer significantly 50-90% higher production volume rate compared to the single laser configuration of Flight® Technology, and 3 to 4 times production yield compared to a single CO2 laser machine.

OPEN PLATFORM

Like all Farsoon systems, FLIGHT® HT403P is offered with fully open machine parameters and unlocked matreial choices. In addition with its increased power and energy absorption characteristics Flight® Technology will be capable of accessing a much different range of process-able materials and operational flexibility as compared to standard laser sintering systems, which allows for increased freedom for future AM material and application development.

FAST

With robust laser power, improved energy distribution to the material, and smaller laser spot size, Flight® Technology is able to achieves the full sintering of powder in a significant short amount of time. With scanning speed of over 20m/s (66 ft/s) as well as the large build volume, Flight® HT403P is able to achieve extreme sintering speeds that pushes the additive manufacturing productivity to a new level.
