Industrial-Grade 3D Printing for In-House Prototyping
GSC is now an authorized Formlabs partner. We offer SLA and SLS 3D printing solutions for engineers and manufacturers across industries.
Why Choose Formlabs?
Engineers and designers use SOLIDWORKS to create protypes and production-ready products. Formlabs extends those capabilities by enabling teams to quickly produce durable, functional 3D-printed components for everything from rapid prototyping to end-use manufacturing.
Formlabs offers two technologies from one globally-recognized brand:
- SLA (resin)
- SLS (powder-based)
Formlabs SLA and SLS technologies offer a full spectrum of abilities. Create detailed prototypes, functional parts, manufacturing aids, and end-use products.
GSC is proud to be a Formlabs partner. Formlabs is a pioneer in professional 3D printing since 2011, with over 130,000 printers shipped worldwide. And they've earned their reputation—in 2024, Formlabs was named as one of Fast Company's Top 10 Most Innovative Companies.
At GSC, we give you expert support, training, and post-sale service so you can buy with confidence, knowing you have the resources you need for superior 3D printing.

SLS Printer
Fuse 1+ 30W
Truly Rapid SLS, For High-Performance Parts Within 24 Hours
Designed for maximum output and minimum waste, Fuse 1+ 30W is our compact industrial SLS 3D printer. Unlock unprecedented print speeds and material enablement to deliver truly rapid production in-house. From print setup to powder recovery, our easy-to-use hardware and software are designed to maximize your efficiency at every step of the process.
Fuse X1
Fuse X1 is a large-format industrial SLS 3D printer, built for engineers, manufacturers, and service bureaus looking to produce large prototypes and high-volume end-use parts with a faster turnaround. Its massive build volume and high packing density enable same-day large parts and 3x the throughput compared to competing platforms. AI-powered Print Intelligence monitors jobs from first layer to final part to reduce failures. Setup takes about an hour, print-to-print changeover takes minutes, and the same end-to-end workflow handles extraction, powder reclaiming, and finishing — moving parts from printed to polished in as little as 15 minutes.
SLS Post-Processing
Fuse Sift
Manage powder with the Fuse Sift powder station. The Fuse Sift removes excess powder within a short 5-10 minutes and then reclaims and stores the powder for reuse. The modular build chamber transfers directly from Fuse 1+ 30W for a continuous, reliable workflow.
Fuse Blast
Finish SLS products with the Fuse Blast automated part cleaning and polishing system. In 10-60 minutes, you get professional parts that are ready to use. Upgrade with the optional polishing system for a smooth, semi-gloss, dye-ready surface.
Fuse Sift X1
Fuse Sift X1 is a large format powder recovery station that turns post-print into a clean, hands-off workflow. An integrated powder transport system moves used powder from the Sift X1 to the Mix Kit automatically, and integrated compressed air inlet and gun that helps you recover powder from parts in seconds, replacing slow manual brushing. The sealed glovebox keeps operators and the workspace clean at any build size, while a built-in parts hatch sends broken-out parts straight to a transfer bin to free up the bench. With capacity for 3 to 5 full builds of used powder, Fuse Sift X1 keeps high-volume operations moving without bottlenecking on cleanup.
Fuse Blast High-Capacity Kit
Scale your post-processing throughput with the Fuse Blast High Capacity Kit, a drop-in upgrade for Fuse Blast that processes over 50% more parts per cycle than the standard basket. It's the recommended configuration for Fuse X1 users and multi-Fuse 1 Series fleets running large, frequent batches.
