Problem
Many research labs, small industrial shops, and government programs rely on legacy laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) printers that are locked to OEM parameters, lack sensor integration, and cannot process novel alloys, limiting their ability to develop new materials and advanced part geometries.
Solution
Laser Fusion Solutions refurbishes and modifies legacy EOS, Concept Laser, and 3D Systems LPBF machines to provide open‑parameter control over laser power, scan strategy, hatch spacing, layer thickness, and process gas. The company operates six production‑grade printers—including a large‑format Xline—to produce contract parts from standard and novel alloys while capturing full process data with its LFS Insights™ in‑situ multi‑sensor package. This sensor suite is installed as a non‑destructive, third‑party add‑on that preserves machine certification and delivers real‑time monitoring and data records for qualification. By combining machine upgrades, contract manufacturing, and sensor‑driven process insight, Laser Fusion Solutions enables researchers and advanced manufacturers to qualify new materials such as refractory alloys, ODS composites, and lunar regolith, and to develop complex parts that conventional printers cannot handle.
Target Audience
Primary customers are university and government research laboratories, small to mid‑size metal‑additive manufacturing shops, and aerospace or defense programs that require flexible machine control and advanced material qualification.
Features
- Open‑parameter conversions that remove OEM lockouts, giving users direct control of laser power, scan strategy, hatch spacing, layer thickness, and gas flow
- Full refurbishment and custom hardware modifications for EOS, Concept Laser, and 3D Systems LPBF systems
- Six active production printers (including a large‑format Xline) capable of standard alloys (AlSi10Mg, SS316L, 17‑4PH, Inconel 718, Ti‑6Al‑4V) and qualified novel materials
- LFS Insights™ multi‑sensor monitoring package with automatic homography correction, installed without altering the OEM optical path or certification status
- In‑situ data collection and AI/ML‑ready workflow for defect detection and process‑window development
- End‑to‑end support including operator training, post‑refurbishment technical assistance, and R&D partnership management
