What your process engineer actually checks

Fine detail, not raw volume

A dynamic focusing system with selectable spot sizes and recoater blades. On a crown margin or a thin lattice the spot size is the spec that decides the part, and on the FS121M you can choose it.

An applications engineer on the line

Not a ticket queue — engineers who run LPBF in production in-house at AO Metal. Alloy qualification, parameter development, troubleshooting. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.

About this product

The Farsoon FS121M is a small-frame metal LPBF system built around fine detail rather than volume. Selectable spot sizes and recoater blades, a 4.7×4.7×3.9 in / 120×120×100 mm build cylinder and a single-phase 220 V supply let it sit in a lab or a dental workshop without a plant room.

Why engineers choose the FS121M

Four things your process engineer will check first.

Fine spot, selectable optics

A fully digital scanning system with a dynamic focus and a choice of spot sizes. That is what resolves a crown margin or a thin-walled lattice, where a production frame would simply be the wrong tool.

Runs on a single-phase 220 V supply

14 A on one phase, 1543 lb / 700 kg, a 30.7×39.4 in floor plan. The FS121M needs far less ancillary equipment than a production LPBF cell, which is usually what decides whether it fits your building at all.

Truly open platform

Machine parameters and powder choice are unlocked. For a research group that is the whole point: you can run an unqualified alloy and develop the parameter set yourself.

Ten qualified alloys, including copper

316L, 17-4PH, Ti6Al4V, AlSi10Mg, Maraging 300, HX, pure copper, CuSn10, CoCrMoW and CoCrMo. Copper and cobalt-chrome on a small frame is an unusual combination.

How we deliver and support it

What happens between the purchase order and your first qualified part.

Step 01
Scope the cell

We size the configuration against your part mix, then plan power, argon or nitrogen supply and extraction with your facilities team. Machine envelope is 30.7×39.4×66.9 in / 780×1000×1700 mm; EUR/China: 220V±10%, 1~/N/PE, 50Hz, 14A. The US transformer ships with the machine.

Step 02
Install and train in the USA

Commissioning and operator training by our US service team. First builds are run together, so your operators hand over parts rather than a checklist.

Step 03
Parameters, spares, engineer

Validated parameter sets for your alloy, US-held spares, and an applications engineer who has run LPBF in production in-house at AO Metal. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.

What the FS121M is built for

Compact Metal LPBF for Dental, Research and Fine Detail. The FS121M runs a single 300 W or 500 W fiber laser with a dynamic focusing system over a 4.7×4.7×3.9 in / 120×120×100 mm build envelope. Full specifications are in the Specifications tab below.

Qualified materials

Farsoon lists 316L, 17-4PH, Ti6Al4V, AlSi10Mg, Maraging Steel Grade 300, HX, pure copper, CuSn10, CoCrMoW and CoCrMo for the FS121M. Because the platform is open, a grade outside that list is a parameter development project rather than a dead end, and one we can run with you. The alloys we stock are lot-certified and held in the USA.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

Which alloys are qualified for the Farsoon FS121M?
Farsoon lists 316L, 17-4PH, Ti6Al4V, AlSi10Mg, Maraging Steel Grade 300, HX, pure copper, CuSn10, CoCrMoW and CoCrMo for the FS121M. Because the platform is open, an alloy outside that list is a parameter development project rather than a blocked path, and our applications engineers scope that work with you. Additive Plus stocks lot-certified metal powder in the USA for the common grades, so reordering does not mean re-qualifying a new supplier mid-programme. Ask us for the certificate of analysis format before you commit — it is what your AS9100 auditor will want to see.
Can the FS121M run in a dental lab or a university without special infrastructure?
Largely yes, and that is the point of the frame. The FS121M draws 14 A on a single-phase 220 V supply, weighs 1543 lb / 700 kg and occupies a 30.7×39.4 in floor plan, and it needs far less ancillary equipment than a production LPBF cell. You still need inert gas, powder handling discipline and extraction, and we plan all three with you before the order — but you are not rebuilding a room around it.
Is the FS121M an open system, or are we locked to vendor parameters?
Open. Farsoon unlocks key machine parameters on the FS121M, and BuildStar and MakeStar allow real-time build parameter modification with three-dimensional visualisation and diagnostic functions. On a frame this size that usually means an unqualified dental or research alloy: you set the spot size, the layer thickness and the recoater blade, then develop the recipe on a few hundred grams of powder. You can change layer thickness within a build and adapt scanning between infill and detail. The parameter set you develop stays yours, which is the difference between owning a process and renting one.
What part size does the FS121M handle, and what fits in one build?
The FS121M build envelope is 4.7×4.7×3.9 in / 120×120×100 mm. Functional build volume is always a little smaller than the stated cylinder, because it depends on part geometry, orientation and the support strategy you choose. As a reference point, Farsoon publishes one case on this platform: Dental crowns, CoCrMoW. Send us the STL and we will nest it, tell you how many parts fit per plate and estimate the build time before you commit to anything.
What does installation and training in the USA involve for the FS121M?
Our US service team commissions the FS121M and trains your operators, and we plan the cell with your facilities group before the order goes in. The machine envelope is 30.7×39.4×66.9 in / 780×1000×1700 mm, it weighs approximately 1543 lb / 700 kg, it runs on EUR/China: 220V±10%, 1~/N/PE, 50Hz, 14A, and the US transformer ships with the machine. Inert gas draw in process is 3-5 L / min, and we plan argon or nitrogen supply and extraction with you. First builds are run together with your operators, so what you get at handover is parts and a working parameter set, not a checklist and a manual.
How does the FS121M compare with the other Farsoon metal platforms?
Farsoon's metal line is a ladder of build envelopes rather than a good-better-best range, so the frame is chosen by part size first. Either side of the FS121M sit the Farsoon FS191M (ø7.5×7.8 in / ø191×199 mm cylinder with a heated plate option) and the Farsoon FS200M-2 (16.7×9.1×11.8 in dual-laser frame for production runs). Laser count is the second decision, and it only pays back when nesting keeps every laser busy. Tell us your part envelope, alloy and annual volume and we will say which frame actually fits — including when a smaller one is the right answer.
Can we test the FS121M before committing to a purchase?
Yes. Send an STL and we print a paid benchmark part in California, then hand over the part together with the parameter set and a cost-per-part breakdown, so you are judging your own geometry rather than a vendor sample. For the FS121M we normally print the smallest feature on your part — a crown margin, a thin fin — because that is where a compact frame either delivers or does not. There is no free sample, but there is no obligation either, and a capability call with an applications engineer costs nothing. We will also confirm the current lead time and the configuration Farsoon is shipping today.
