CHANGSHA, China, Mar 24, 2026 – Farsoon Technologies announces the launch of the FS1311M-U, a next-generation large-format metal Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) system engineered to address key challenges in industrial additive manufacturing— productivity for large parts, batch quality, and process control.
Designed for high-end manufacturing sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors, the FS1311M-U enables efficient production of meter-scale, complex metal components with enhanced consistency and reliability.
Built for Large-Scale Production
With an ultra-large build volume of 1310 × 1310 × 1650 mm, the FS1311M-U meets the growing demand for large, integrated part manufacturing and batch production. Its compact, space-efficient design ensures easy integration into production environments where floor space is critical.
Breakthrough Productivity with Advanced Laser Technology
Powered by a 16-laser configuration and optional beam shaping technology, the FS1311M-U delivers a dramatic leap in build efficiency. By optimizing energy distribution, the system enables wider scan spacing, thicker layers, and faster scanning speeds—achieving build rates of up to 1440 cm³/h in Ti-6Al-4V at 150 µm layer thickness. This translates directly to reduced material waste, improved energy utilization, and a lower cost per part, empowering manufacturers to scale production with confidence.
Consistent Quality at Scale
To achieve repeatable, high-quality results in volume production, the FS1311M-U is equipped with a robust optical system, uniform multi-laser overlap, and intelligent recoating monitoring. Its sophisticated airflow architecture—combining multi-layer gas flow with an air-wall design—effectively suppresses turbulence and prevents contamination across the entire build area. This creates stable, consistent process conditions that support reliable, long-duration manufacturing.
Optimized for Serial Production Efficiency
Designed to accelerate the path to series production, the FS1311M-U features intelligent MES connectivity that streamlines workflows and drives down operational costs. To maximize throughput across the entire manufacturing cycle, the system integrates a closed-loop powder management platform, and a three-station design enabling parallel operations —all working together to enhance productivity and simplify every step of the process.
Engineered for Safety and Control
Built on Farsoon’s proprietary control card and supporting hardware, the FS1311M-U delivers seamless system integration and long-term reliability. To support uninterrupted production, a permanent filtration system enables extended build jobs with minimal downtime. Combined with real-time process monitoring, the system provides enhanced safety and complete operational confidence throughout every print cycle.
With its combination of scale, speed, and stability, the FS1311M-U empowers manufacturers to transition from prototyping to true serial production—unlocking new efficiencies for large-format metal additive manufacturing in automotive and beyond.
