YOLO brick on Fuse X1 (bananas for scale)
Replying to @connorkapoor
Yes. It's 67kg / 147lbs! Fuse 1 yolo-brick for scale. (It's often one of the toughest prints to do on a printer. I've never seen one on a large format powder bed system).

Fuse X1 will change the way you think about SLS 3D printing. Massive volume, low cost per part, fits in almost any environment. Already used by @Tesla and @RadioFlyer. Starts at 85k.

Soft robotics was out of the question until ⁨YouTuber It's On My Mind started using Form 4 and Silicone 40A resin. FDM filaments can flex, but can't pressure-seal making pneumatically actuated soft robotic parts impossible. His next step is to integrate the tentacle and the gripper together into one soft robot.

Behind every reliable part of the Form 4 3D Printer, there are thousands of hours of hidden engineering. This custom pneumatic rig, for example, is the Form 4 Mixer Latch Cycle Tester—built to open and close the mixer latch thousands of times to ensure ultimate long-term reliability. 🛠️🤖 #Form4 #Hardware #QA #3DPrinting #Engineering #Formlabs

If you haven't heard, Valve released the Steam Controller CAD so that people can design their own mods and accessories for it. And if you don't have a 3D printer yourself, or want to try some more industrial-quality materials, you can get them printed through a service like Form Now. I designed this hand stand to hold the controller and in 2 days, had it printed and delivered with Form Now. Here's the model if you'd like to get one for yourself: bit.ly/4tzQqVo

From prototyping to end-use parts. All on the same machine. SLS printing combines industrial-grade materials with the design freedom engineers need to create complex products with fewer manufacturing limitations. The team at Palladion Systems developed a print-in-place counter-UAV system manufactured as a single build with deployable arms integrated directly into the design. Manufactured on the Formlabs Fuse Series, this approach reduces assembly, speeds up iteration, and enables scalable production.
