Farsoon Unveils Two New Large-Format Metal 3D Printers — Up to 1,440 cm³/h Build Rate

Chinese 3D printer manufacturer Farsoon Technologies launched two new large-format metal powder bed fusion systems at TCT Asia 2026: the FS812M-U and the FS1311M-U.

FS812M-U: Refined Productivity

The FS812M-U builds on the manufacturer's established 800-series platform, keeping the 810 x 810mm build area intact while extending build height to 1,700mm and shaving 41% off the machine's physical footprint compared to its predecessor.

Taller components, such as grid stabilizer fins or hypersonic precoolers, have typically forced manufacturers to either add extensive support structures or split parts across multiple builds and join them afterward. The 1,700mm build height on the FS812M-U reduces the need for both.

Configurable with 8 or 10 lasers as standard, the machine also supports an optional beam shaping module for customers looking to push throughput further. Rounding out the process control side are a closed-loop chamber pressure system, dual oxygen sensors, and continuous monitoring of pressure, humidity, and oxygen levels throughout each print cycle.

FS1311M-U: Meter-Scale Production

At the other end of the scale sits the FS1311M-U, a considerably larger system with a 1,310 x 1,310 x 1,650mm build volume and a 16-laser configuration built for manufacturers that need to produce meter-scale metal components in volume. Both machines are aimed at aerospace and automotive, with the FS1311M-U also targeting the energy sector.

A build platform of that size enables integrated part manufacturing, where components that would otherwise be produced separately and assembled can instead be printed as a single piece, removing joints that add weight and potential failure points.

Farsoon is claiming build rates of up to 1,440 cm³/h in Ti-6Al-4V at a 150µm layer thickness, figures that would put the system among the more productive platforms in its class.

Technical Specifications

The FS812M-U features external dimensions of 6,680mm x 4,110mm x 6,500mm, while the larger FS1311M-U measures 9,500mm x 6,000mm x 6,500mm. Both support layer thickness from 0.02 to 0.1mm and scan speeds up to 10 m/s.

Across both platforms, Farsoon has built in MES connectivity, closed-loop powder circulation, and a three-station layout that decouples loading, printing, and unloading so each can proceed without waiting on the others.

The company's 800-series dates back to 2021, and by the manufacturer's own count, more than 40 of those earlier systems are now running in facilities globally.
