Formlabs Fuse Blast High Capacity Kit

The Formlabs Fuse Blast High Capacity Kit is a drop-in basket upgrade for the Fuse Blast SLS post-processing station, engineered to handle over 50% more parts per cycle than the standard tumbler basket. With a 400 mm opening diameter and zero-tool installation, it is the recommended configuration for Fuse X1 users and Fuse 1 Series multi-printer production environments where post-processing throughput must keep pace with high-frequency build cycles.

The image below shows the High Capacity basket from directly above, revealing the two-layer construction that defines its performance: a precision-perforated stainless steel outer ring sized to maximise airflow and abrasive media recirculation, and a dense textured rubber liner that cushions SLS parts throughout the blasting cycle.

50%+ Greater Batch Volume Without Overcrowding

Post-processing is the most common throughput constraint in SLS production — and overcrowding the standard basket is the primary reason why. When part density exceeds the basket's practical limit, abrasive media distributes unevenly and parts collide, creating surface defects that cannot be corrected downstream. The High Capacity Kit removes that ceiling.

The larger interior volume keeps parts spatially separated at the batch volumes typical of a full Fuse X1 build — or combined output from multiple Fuse 1 printers running in parallel. The isometric view below shows the full cylindrical depth and the uniform perforation pattern that sustains even media flow across every square centimetre of the basket wall.

Drop-In Installation: Operational in Minutes

No specialist tools. No machine reconfiguration. The High Capacity basket shares the same mounting interface as the standard Fuse Blast basket — swap it in, lock it, and the station is ready to run. The image below shows the large basket fully seated inside the Fuse Blast cabinet with the blasting nozzle assembly in its operational position, confirming direct mechanical compatibility without any hardware modification.

Perforated Steel Shell: Maximum Airflow, Minimum Resistance

The basket body is a precision-perforated stainless steel cylinder. The perforation geometry is calibrated to retain SLS parts of all standard sizes while freely passing abrasive media and residual powder outward into the recirculation system — no secondary screens or inserts required. Structural integrity under repeated cycle loads is maintained by flanged steel rims at both ends. The side-profile image below shows the full wall height and the uniform hole pattern that makes consistent surface coverage possible regardless of where in the basket a part sits.

Liner Kit Included: Zero Downtime When the Liner Wears Out

High-volume SLS post-processing exhausts basket liners faster than most users anticipate. The High Capacity Kit solves that problem in advance: the package pairs the large tumbler basket with an additional Fuse Blast Large Tumbler Basket Liner Kit, so a replacement liner is already on the shelf the moment the installed one reaches end of life. No separate order. No production pause waiting on delivery.

The macro image below shows the liner surface in detail — an interlocking rubber texture engineered to distribute impact energy uniformly during each blasting cycle, protecting fine SLS part features and thin walls from abrasion damage.

Large vs. Standard: Understanding the Volume Difference

The photograph below places the large tumbler basket (High Capacity Kit) alongside the standard tumbler basket. The size differential is immediately clear — the large basket is sized to absorb the full output of a Fuse X1 build volume in a single cycle. Operators running multiple Fuse 1 printers in a fleet configuration will recognise this as the setup that finally removes the post-processing station as the production bottleneck.
