November 19, 2024 – Formnext – Frankfurt, Germany – Farsoon is proud to unveil the FS191M, a next-generation metal PBF solution designed to elevate productivity, enhance cost-performance, and simplify operations across a wide range of industrial applications. Building on the legacy of the FS121M, the FS191M represents a significant advancement for users seeking versatile solutions for both pilot projects and low-volume manufacturing.
“The FS191M builds on the success of our small volume FS121M system, first launched in 2016,” said Wenyu Guo, Director of Farsoon’s Metal Product Line. “Over the past six years, we’ve worked closely with industrial and research partners to optimize productivity, streamline workflows, and expand process capabilities—all while maintaining a low cost of ownership. This approach is enabling us to unlock new markets, including consumer products, tooling, and more.”
Compact + Versatile Solutions
The FS191M features a standard φ191mm×199mm build cylinder (a 5.64-liter build envelope) and robust 500-Watt fiber laser—offering nearly 4 times the build volume of the FS121M. This positions it as one of the largest build capacities in its category, ideal for small-batch production. For research and development purposes, the FS191M offers an optional φ78mm×80mm build platform, which reduces material costs and enhances flexibility. The ability to switch easily between platform sizes adds exceptional value, allowing users to transition seamlessly from validation to low-volume production.
Designed with a compact footprint of 0.94 square meter, the FS191M can be conveniently deployed in office environments, providing versatility for a variety of setups.
Cost performance
The FS191M redefines value in metal additive manufacturing with its advanced features designed for precision, efficiency, and versatility. Key highlights include: a high-precision F-Theta lens for consistent and accurate laser performance; an integrated filtration system ensuring smooth and efficient operations; in-chamber monitoring cameras for real-time process oversight; an innovative recoater design for reliable and uniform powder distribution; and an advanced control card for enhanced process control. Additionally, its open parameter strategy empowers users with full customization of material processing, making it an ideal choice for diverse industrial applications.
Engineered to deliver high-detail, functional parts with a cost-effective design, the FS191M is perfectly suited for industrial users seeking reliable and versatile manufacturing solutions.
Cutting-edge Technologies for R&D Purpose
The advanced technologies of the FS191M make it an excellent choice for research-focused projects, offering exceptional precision and improved success rates. The FS191M includes many advanced add-on modules and capabilities unique to Farsoon, including:
• SRS (Support Reduction System) for significant less support structure.
• High-Resolution Melt Pool Monitoring for real-time quality assurance.
• Innovative 3D structured light monitoring system utilizing structured laser detection for high-precision Z-axis monitoring, reducing powder recoating defects such as warping and scratches.
• Advanced optical solutions like laser beam shaping for enhanced efficiency and quality in additive manufacturing.
• High-temp build plate up to 400°C.
FS191M is now open for early adopter program application. Customers interested are welcome to contact globalinfo@farsoon.com, or visit us at the Formnext 2024 in Frankfut at booth 11.0-E11 for more details!
