Hello everyone,

I am interested in seeing results of textured parts produced on the Fuse 1+.

**If anyone has experience applying textures using PreForm for SLS, could you share images of your printed parts?**

I understand many of you are running businesses, so only if you are comfortable, it would be helpful to know any details on settings, texture depth, or general workflow.

I have worked extensively with textures on SLA prints, but as a prospective buyer, I want to better understand what is realistically achievable with SLS in terms of surface texture quality and detail.

Thank you.

@Shiden I watched the latest Formlabs video on drone manufacturing using SLS, found it it very interesting and exciting especially the texture you have been able to achieve. 😃

Could I bother you to either post pictures on the post topic or make a video on the same?

Hi Ashwini,

Great to hear from you, and thank you for the kind feedback

I can definitely make some content around the topic, most likely in video format. This week is quite packed on my end, but I think next week or the week after would be a realistic timeframe.

Thanks again for the suggestion, and I appreciate your interest.

Wishing you a great start to the week!

Best,

Shiden
