The system pairs eight 1,000 W lasers with a 720 × 420 × 650 mm build volume for series production workflows.
Farsoon Technologies has introduced the FS722M, a large-format metal powder bed fusion platform. The machine builds on the FS721M and FS721M-H and is intended for series production use where consistent operation, repeatable processes and equipment utilization are important.
Large format capacity and multi-laser productivity
The FS722M offers a 720 × 420 × 650 mm build envelope and eight 1,000 W lasers for parts such as automotive components, tooling inserts and large machine parts. The rectangular build area supports elongated components and the 650 mm build height allows tall parts and vertical nesting where needed.
The eight-laser configuration supports build rates of up to 1,000 cm³/h, depending on material, process parameters and build conditions. A beam-shaping configuration is also available. For production users, the main objective is to convert build capacity into repeatable output and a controlled cost per qualified part.
Process consistency for production use
The platform uses digital optics, customizable scanning strategies, an updated multi-layer gas flow system and an upgraded recoater blade to support powder spreading and layer formation. These changes are intended to support consistent processing across the build platform.
The platform is designed to support the repeatability required for industrial series production when paired with application-specific process qualification.
CAMS: separating printing from part handling
The CAMS concept uses exchangeable build cartridges to separate part removal and preparation from printing. In this workflow, a conveyor transfers cartridges between the machine and an external loading dock. A completed cartridge moves to an inerted breakout station for part removal and processing while another cartridge is prepared for the next build.
By moving these tasks outside the build station, the system is intended to reduce non-printing time and improve equipment utilization. The result will depend on the automation configuration, cartridge exchange sequence and the customer’s production workflow.
Closed-loop powder management and automation
The FS722M-CAMS includes an automated closed-loop powder handling system. Powder recycling, sieving, storage and fresh powder feeding are integrated within a protected inert environment to support material handling and process control.
The integrated filtration module is designed for lower maintenance requirements, with routine servicing limited to dust-bin emptying. Integrating powder management and filtration into the workflow helps reduce operator involvement and support cleaner material handling.
Intelligent monitoring for production visibility
Farsoon’s software package provides process monitoring and production management functions. Parameters such as laser power, gas flow and chamber temperature are monitored in real time, and in-chamber cameras provide visual checks of each completed layer.
This combination gives operators visibility into build conditions and can support process intervention and traceability during production.
Production economics
The FS722M extends the existing platform with a production-oriented workflow and multi-laser capacity. The goal is to support reliability, reduce non-productive time and improve use of installed capacity. Cost per qualified part depends on material, application, build layout and the validated operating process.
The company will continue to use customer feedback from series-production applications to refine machine design, process performance and workflow integration for industrial additive manufacturing.
