The perfect surface for your 3D parts
- Get professional finished parts. Produce professional-looking SLS parts with a smooth, semi-glossy surface that’s ready to paint without any changes to your workflow.
- Easy to combine with Fuse Blast. Easy to install, add-on for any Fuse Blast without the need for an additional Blast.
- Reliable results. By sealing the surface with a polishing medium, as opposed to abrasive smoothing or chemical surface melting, surface roughness is reduced without removing material or small parts. No more rough surface finishing.
- Inexpensive solution. This is the most affordable polishing option on the SLS market. A very cost-effective alternative to automatic blasting machines and steam smoothing systems that require stand-alone installations and/or specialized knowledge/training.
How does it work?
Whereas standard glass blasting leaves a rough, matte finish, the Fuse Blast Polishing System cleans and smooths parts in one step by impact polishing. The Polishing Module dispenses and sprays a small amount of polishing agent solution into the jet to condition the polishing media. The Polishing Media is a soft, spherical polymer ball that lasts much longer than glass media.
- The Polishing Media will clean and polish your part directly from the Fuse Sift (no glass blasting is required).
- Polishing with Fuse Blast does not abrade the material – it creates a smooth surface by compacting the surface, similar to shot blasting.
- High blast pressure (60 psi) is required, which is achieved by using adaptive airflow. Fuse Blast’s Adaptive Airflow feature allows lower horsepower compressors to handle these increased airflow needs by pausing the cycle while the compressor charges. This provides a continuous, hands-on experience for cleaning and polishing SLS-ready parts.
