Markforged Precise PLA lets you go from concept to production all on the same platform.

​
What is Precise PLA?

Precise PLA is Markforged’s specialized version of one of the most common prototyping materials in the additive manufacturing industry, Polylactic Acid (PLA). Markforged will offer Precise PLA in eight color options – yellow, red, green, blue, orange, black, white, and gray. The Digital Forge has been calibrated, with changes in Eiger software, to print Precise PLA with excellent quality and repeatability. At $92 ex GST per 600cc spool Precise PLA now makes for a cost-efficient option for assessing designs using the Digital Forge.

When Should I use Precise PLA vs Onyx™ or Continuous Fibers?

We recommend Precise PLA as a more cost-effective option for prototypes, fit checks, or any other applications that don’t need the enhanced mechanical properties of Onyx and/or continuous fiber. Additionally, the distinct colors can enhance usability and safety of shop tools and fixtures by facilitating communicative color codes.

PLA is not compatible with continuous fiber, so as a rule of thumb, if your part needs to be stronger, or more impact/heat resistant than your typical plastic, we recommend Onyx and the appropriate continuous fiber. To learn more about the many applications addressable with continuous fiber, check out this white paper. We anticipate many engineers and designers will first prototype designs using Precise PLA and then move into the production version using Onyx reinforced with continuous carbon fiber.

Incredible Versatility. Built for the Entire Product Lifecycle

Historically, Markforged users have created mission critical, tools and end use parts with Markforged’s high quality printers and high-strength materials. By bringing cost-effective prototyping materials and functional applications together on one simple-to-use platform, Markforged now offers users a more streamlined approach to bringing final designs to life.

“A material devoted to lower-cost concept models and prototypes was a top feature request from Markforged customers. We heard this feedback and fine tuned our software and printers to print in Precise PLA, now giving our users an added dimension of versatility. We also hope this update empowers our customers to have a little more fun in the design process with the added splash of colors. This is just one more example of how the Digital Forge constantly powers new applications and gets better as we take in more data and feedback from our install base.” Said President and CEO, Shai Terem.

The Fuse 1 brings powerful Surface Armor technology, a 30% powder refresh rate and new versatile Nylon 12 and Nylon 11 powders to deliver a simplified industrial 3D printing workflow at a fraction of the cost of traditional industrial SLS printers.

Formlabs, a leading 3D printing company, has launched the world’s first benchtop industrial selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printer, the Fuse 1, to enable engineers, designers, and manufacturers at all levels to rethink product development, hybrid manufacturing, and end-use production. Additionally, the company launched Fuse Sift, a post-processing system for the Fuse 1, and Nylon 12 Powder, Formlabs’ first powder material for Fuse 1, to provide users with a straightforward end-to-end SLS workflow.

SLS technology has long been trusted by engineers and large manufacturers for its ability to print strong, functional prototypes and end-use parts, but its high cost and complex workflow have historically confined it to large companies. The Fuse 1 and Fuse Sift improve on the unique advantages offered by SLS, while bringing it within reach for companies of all sizes and types through unprecedented affordability and ease of use.

“The Form 1 redefined stereolithography (SLA) printing for the additive manufacturing industry 10 years ago, and now the Fuse 1 is bringing the same reliability and accessibility standard that Formlabs customers expect of industrial 3D printing,” said Max Lobovsky, CEO and co-founder of Formlabs. “SLS 3D printing shouldn’t be solely for those with big budgets, it needs to be accessible so all companies — from startup to big manufacturer — can benefit from the design freedom and high productivity SLS 3D printing provides.”

The Fuse 1 will enable Formlabs to substantially expand the market size for industrial 3D printing, unlocking truly production-ready 3D printing to an entirely new set of customers. Formlabs’ complete end-to-end SLS printing system takes the guesswork and challenges out of creating strong, functional parts all while minimizing costs, freeing many organizations from their reliance on expensive and slow external solutions.

“We previously used an outsourced injection-molding workflow to deliver prosthetic fingers to patients young and old, helping them improve mobility and increase functionality; but this process was extremely slow and did not allow for the personalization needed for each patient,” said Matthew Mikosz, founder of Partial Hand Solutions and Fuse 1 beta user. “Fuse 1 gives us the design freedom needed to truly customize our prosthetics and the high productivity and throughput necessary to quickly get this solution to our patients.”

After seven years of development, Formlabs is delivering on its promise to bring this powerful technology to market at an affordable price point without compromising quality. Engineers, product designers, and manufacturers choose SLS printers for their design freedom, high productivity and throughput, low cost per part, and proven track record. The Fuse 1 enables users to take control of their entire product development process, from iterating on your first concept design to manufacturing ready-to-use products in production-ready nylon.

Fuse 1 features include:

• A modular build chamber that enables continuous printing and reduces downtime;
• Patent pending Surface Armor technology that creates semi-sintered shell to protect the surface of the part as it prints;
• The capability to print with up to 70 percent recycled powder;
• A material refresh rate, the minimum ratio of fresh powder required to print, of 30 percent for minimal material waste.
