Fugo Precision 3D Unveils New Centrifugal 3D Printing Technology

Fugo Precision 3D has launched the Fugo Model A, a centrifugal 3D printer, a novel technology that offers "layerless" printing with sub-30-micron accuracy and throughput reportedly up to 10 times faster than traditional stereolithography (SLA) printers.

The Fugo Model A integrates multiple post-production processes into a single machine. With its all-in-one system, users can print, wash, dry and post-cure parts, streamlining the entire production process.

"Our patented centrifugal printing technology is not just an improvement over existing systems; it is a complete rethinking of what 3D printing can accomplish," says Bryan Allred, founder of Fugo 3D. "With the Fugo Model A, we expect to help manufacturers build higher quality parts at a lower cost."

Fugo Precision 3D unveiled the Fugo Model A at the recent Rapid + TCT show in Los Angeles. In addition to increased speed and throughput, Fugo is emphasizing the Model A's ability for precision printing with sub-50-micron accuracy in all dimensions.

"Since the advent of SLA and DLP technology, the single greatest problem with these printers has been the need for a mechanical means to spread the infinitely thin layers. With the Fugo Model A, we have solved this problem as our technology does not use any mechanical means to create layers during printing," says Sasha Shkolnik, chief technology officer.

The Fugo Model A is a multi-application printer that works with a diverse range of photopolymers. Fugo is targeting current high-volume manufacturers with 3D printing as a critical element of their production lines to become its early adopters. Fugo plans to deliver the initial commercial production machines in Q1 of 2025.
