The Farsoon FS422M is reported to offer manufacturers high-precision capabilities and scalability. It allows the production of parts that meet stringent quality standards while optimising production costs. Qualifying this machine for Scalmalloy parts represents a leap forward in both technological compatibility and material performance.

“We’re thrilled to advance metal Additive Manufacturing with the FS422M’s qualification for Scalmalloy parts together with APWORKS,” stated Oliver Li, Managing Director of Farsoon Europe. “This milestone not only demonstrates the machine’s exceptional precision and scalability but also opens up new possibilities for high-performance applications in various industries.”

APWORKS will showcase the latest applications of Scalmalloy at the Farsoon Europe booth 11.0-E11 at Formnext 2024.
