Toolcraft adds eight-laser Farsoon metal printer to grow production capacity

Contract manufacturer Toolcraft is expanding its metal additive manufacturing capacity with a Farsoon FS722, a laser powder bed fusion system with eight lasers. The company says order intake is developing well and that customers increasingly ask for series parts with larger dimensions. The machine is meant to cover bigger components and higher volumes.

Context Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) builds metal parts layer by layer by melting thin layers of powder with a laser; more lasers working in parallel raise throughput.
