Intended use

The Fuse Blast is a commercial, precision tool intended for use in the additive manufacture of
end-user supplied designs from SLS powder. The final performance characteristics of sintered
SLS powder may vary according to your compliance with the instructions for use, application,
operating conditions, material combined with, end use, or other factors.
The Fuse Blast is not for residential use.
NOTICE
In some cases, the additive manufacturing process may inherently result in variable
performance characteristics between manufacturing runs or within a specific part.
NOTICE
Such variances may not be apparent and may result in unexpected defects in
additively fabricated parts.
IPX0: The product offers no special protection from water.
NOTICE
The Fuse Blast is classified as Pollution Degree 2: Normally only nonconductive
pollution occurs. Temporary conductivity caused by condensation may be expected.
