Saturne adds ten-laser Farsoon FS811M-U for large-format metal Additive Manufacturing
Farsoon Europe GmbH, Sindelfingen, Germany, announced that Saturne Technology, based in Contern, Luxembourg, has purchased an FS811M-U Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) Additive Manufacturing machine. The new machine is expected to become the centrepiece of Saturne’s new large-format metal Additive Manufacturing production cell, fully integrated with in-house machining, heat treatment, and quality-control infrastructure.
Once operational, the machine will enable metal-parts production at industrial scale, with qualified systems aligned with the requirements of leading aerospace OEMs and tier suppliers.
“On behalf of the entire Farsoon team, I would like to warmly congratulate Saturne Technology on this exciting step forward,” stated Oliver Huizhi Li, Managing Director at Farsoon Europe. “Farsoon’s mission has always been to offer high-performance, truly open industrial AM solutions, but we approach this mission with humility, knowing that real progress comes from strong partnerships. Collaborating with Saturne allows us to combine our technological strengths with their exceptional expertise in manufacturing and qualification. Together, we will help accelerate the adoption of metal AM for the most demanding aerospace applications.”
The FS811M-U features an extra-tall 1.7 m Z-axis and an 840 × 840 mm platform. It is equipped with ten 1,000 W fibre lasers with beam shaping, coupled with advanced multi-laser scanning strategies designed to enable uniform properties on oversize parts and high-throughput production across the large build area.
