Fuse Blast Polishing Media is made of specially formulated plastic beads designed for the Fuse Blast system to produce smooth, semi-gloss, dye-ready SLS parts. Unlike abrasive or chemical methods, it compacts the surface for a clean finish.

Built for longevity, it lasts over a hundred Blast cycles and resists the breakdown common with glass media. Larger in size and propelled at higher pressures than standard glass media, it ensures consistent, high-quality results.

For use with the Fuse Blast Polishing System.

Media Lifetime

Designed to last for over 100 blasting cycles (no breakdown observed) when used under recommended conditions.

Usage Note

Requires correct media size and blast pressure (≥ 60 psi) to achieve intended finish; not recommended for very delicate features due to higher-energy impact.
