FUSION3 3D PRINTERS:
WIDEST VARIETY OF MATERIALS / OPEN SOURCE 3D FILAMENT

Many Fusion3 customers seek to 3D print the same engineering-grade 3D printable plastics they use for injection molding. Other customers desire unique properties that new, innovative filaments can provide.

Unlike other 3D printer manufacturers who restrict the types of 3D printer materials used with their machines, Fusion3’s “open materials” philosophy provides customers with the greatest variety of 3D printable materials, at the lowest cost, and the best customer experience.

Our testing & certification process ensures our customers can successfully print the widest variety of materials for 3D printing ‘out of the box’.

TESTED & CERTIFIED TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY & PERFORMANCE

Purchase Directly From Suppliers

Other 3D printer manufacturers require you to only purchase their limited selection of branded material at inflated prices or encourage you to buy material anywhere, but leave you to figure out the settings to make those materials work, a difficult process for a 3D printing expert, much less someone with a job to do.

Fusion3 does not sell filament.

We encourage customers to purchase materials on the open market, encouraging competition in price, quality, and innovation. We only ask that you either use what is already on our Certified Materials List or have us test new filaments prior to use.

Rigorous Testing Process

Fusion3 subjects new 3D printer materials to a rigorous testing process. First we measure multiple samples of the material to ensure consistency of extrusion, as too much variation can have detrimental impacts on the performance of your high-performance Fusion3 3D printer. Then we engage in a series of different tests to ensure the quality of material and its suitability for 3D printing with the Fusion3 hardware.  Should the material pass those tests, we then create the different material settings (“profiles”) for each of our 3D printers at different performance levels.

Customer Requests

We encourage our customers to request the testing of new, quality materials for 3D printing. Requests range from evaluating a new, unique material or formulation for use in their industry or application, to the certification of a quality generic filament sold by a familiar or in-region supplier.

Frequent Updates

Fusion3 seeks out new 3D printer materials and printable plastics to test and frequently publish updates to our ‘Certified Materials List’ and optimized print settings (profiles) which we then push automatically to users online within our REACTOR 3D printing (slicing) software.
