Last week, Farsoon Technologies announced that the company had released three new large-platform machines, all of which build upon the company’s successful FS621M laser powder bed fusion (PBF) system for metal additive manufacturing (AM). Yesterday, Farsoon announced that it has joined the AM/sintering industry association, ColdMetalFusion Alliance, an organization which was started this year by the originator of cold metal fusion (CMF) AM, Germany’s Headmade Materials.
The major advantage to CMF is that it allows users to transform selective laser sintering (SLS) systems designed for polymers into metal AM platforms. In a 2021 interview with 3DPrint.com’s Joris Peels, Headmade’s CEO, Christian Staudigel, summed it up like this: “…[CMF] combines the worlds of 3D-printing for plastics (SLS) with the standard powder metallurgical processes for debinding and…
