Farsoon FS121M — Technical data

The FS121M is Farsoon's most compact metal system from the generation before 2023. A 300 or 500 W fibre laser exposes a 120 × 120 × 100 mm build volume, with layers between 0.02 and 0.08 mm. With a 780 × 1,000 mm footprint, around 700 kg and a single-phase 14 A connection, it can be installed in labs and smaller workshops. Farsoon lists steels, titanium, aluminium, nickel alloys, copper and cobalt-chrome as materials; as on all Farsoon systems, parameters are open. An economy version, the FS121M-E, was limited to 300 W and fewer materials. In the current range, the FS191M is Farsoon's compact metal system.

On a used FS121M, first clarify the laser power, as the 300 W and 500 W versions differ in material range. Filter condition, gas tightness of the chamber, recoater and protective glass are also important. Anyone planning to process titanium or aluminium needs a concept for reactive powders and filter disposal. Agree spare parts and software support for the older model with Farsoon Europe beforehand.

2 · Let us search

Nothing suitable? We will search for you – or get an e-mail as soon as a matching machine comes in.

3 · Have parts printed

Not worth your own machine? We produce your parts – request from the LayerByLayer 3D printing service.

Buy or have it printed? For small or changing quantities, having parts printed is often cheaper than your own machine. If you regularly fill many build jobs, your own machine pays off.
