According to Farsoon Technologies 华曙高科:

Farsoon Technologies reports the introduction of the FS4X, a metal laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) platform built specifically to meet the demands of series production. The system offers a 425 × 425 × 550 mm build envelope and can be configured with either four 2,000 W lasers or six 1,000 W lasers, utilizing powerful beam shaping to expand processing strategies. According to the company, the platform combines an open material-parameter framework with modular automation to help reduce investment risk and manage operational costs.

To ensure reliability, the FS4X integrates automated in-situ scanner calibration, multi-layer gas flow management, and a one-piece machined build cylinder to reduce potential leakage paths. As part of Farsoon's Continuous Additive Manufacturing Solution portfolio, the platform supports automated, inert-gas-protected cylinder transfer via AGVs and a comprehensive powder handling system to minimize manual intervention. Farsoon states that actual cost-per-part improvements will depend on specific materials, geometries, and utilization rates, and the system is scheduled for introduction at Formnext 2026.
