Highlights
Innovative printhead
The Anvil printhead combines the proprietary extruder and the company’s know-how of using surgical steel tubes instead of traditional interchangeable nozzles. This solution enables faster printing and wear-resistance for the use with abrasive composite filaments. The maximum operating temperature here is 320 °C.
Reliable high-temperature printing
The passively heated build chamber temperature can reach 70 °C, while the general print volume is 368 x 368 x 343 mm. Featuring the automatic leveling system, the multi-zone heated print bed is a 0. 25 inch aluminum plate with glass surface, capable of heating up to 140 °C. These parameters ensure smooth processing of high-temperature materials.
In addition to this, the Fusion3 Edge is engineered with a rigid aluminum enclosure that reduces vibration to ensure fast, high-quality printing.
Due to the upgraded motion control components, the machine boasts increased printing stability, tight tolerances, and impressive print speed, which for some materials can be as high as 250 mm per second.
Control and connectivity
The Fusion3 Edge 3D printer can be managed through a 7" color touchscreen with enhanced sensitivity. It features a clear intuitive interface providing all necessary data and convenient remote management tools, including maintenance reminders.
It is also possible to control the machine remotely. Overall, the connectivity options encompass USB and Ethernet as well as optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules.
Software
To prepare files for printing, the Fusion3 engineers have developed the proprietary Reactor software that is based on the RealVision slicer from the Danish “Create It Real” company. Apart from manifold standard tools for build preparation, it offers streamlined interface, adaptive printing algorithms, flexible settings for different parameters, real-time updates, and optimized profiles for each material.
The program works with the STL and OBJ file formats and runs exclusively on Windows.
Print samples
Considering its technical parameters and advanced functions, the Fusion3 Edge 3D printer is ideal for educational and professional use in various spheres, including aerospace, automotive, metal fabrication, and other major industries. Undoubtedly, the machine is able to rapidly produce top-quality parts in fine detail.
Bottom line
All the reviewed peculiarities, such as improved technology, reliable construction, efficient manufacture, safe operation, and powerful control system, make the Fusion3 Edge 3D printer an extremely valuable tool for industrial production considering its price and performance.

Fusion3 launches its new EDGE 3D printer - technical specifications and pricing
0Shares
3D printer manufacturer Fusion3 has announced the launch of its new EDGE 3D printer.
Designed to rival pricier industrial-grade competitors, the professional FFF system aims to combine speed, precision, and ease of use in one comprehensive package. The EDGE also prides itself on its sizable build volume and long list of material capabilities, enabling users to 3D print filaments such as PC, PP, Nylon, TPU, and even fiber-reinforced composites.
Kate Padgett, Fusion3’s Founder and CTO, said, “EDGE encapsulates Fusion3’s nine years of industry experience, accumulated feedback from customers, and our vision for the changes needed to drive mainstream, commercial adoption of FDM 3D printing. ”

Based in North Carolina, Fusion3 has been developing professional FFF 3D printers for commercial, education, government, and military customers for almost a decade.
The new EDGE joins a long line of systems built for high-performance applications, the latest of which is the company’s F410 3D printer. Priced at $4,999, the machine sports a 355 x 355 x 315mm build volume and a choice of three interchangeable print heads. The firm has also previously offered the F400 and F306 3D printers, both of which are now discontinued.
To complement its extrusion-based machines, Fusion3 also has its own slicing software called REACTOR. The program is powered by Danish R&D company Create it REAL’s REALvision slicing engine.
The Fusion3 EDGE
The firm’s new EDGE 3D printer packs a build volume measuring 355.6 x 355.6 x 368.3mm, providing ample space for larger part production. Complete with Fusion3’s F-Series control technology, it features a number of upgraded motion control components such as new linear rails, Gates 2GT2 belts, and fine-tuned stepper motors. According to the company, this allows the system to print at up to 200mm/s for certain materials.
Fusion3 has also integrated its own patent-pending ANVIL print head system into the mix. Coupled with the firm’s V3 extruder, the assembly leverages a surgical steel print tube instead of a conventional screw-in nozzle, which reportedly offers faster print speeds and improved wear resistance for abrasive composite filaments. Additionally, Fusion3 claims the ANVIL print head is more robust and easier to maintain than a traditional counterpart. The maximum nozzle temperature clocks in at 320°C.
Looking inside the 3D printer, we have a heated build chamber capable of 70°C and ¼” aluminum print bed with a glass surface (max. temp. 145°C). Customers also have the option to add in a magnetic build plate with an assortment of magnetic print surfaces, making part removal a breeze.
Furthermore, the EDGE comes equipped with a new bed leveling system that utilizes an ultra-light touch probe to “ensure a near-perfect first layer for each print”. On the software and electronics side, there’s a 64-bit ARM processor with a 7″ touchscreen providing access to the user interface. The printer’s control system comes complete with remote print management capabilities and even reminds users of recurring maintenance tasks.
