History
Fusion3 was started by North Carolina State University Alumnus Chris Padgett who after building several kit 3D printers, developed a proprietary linear motion process to improve upon the existing, open source 3D printer designs. The company began production in 2014 without any external investment. The company received a $25,000 grant from the Innovation Fund of North Carolina in 2014 to invest into patent activities and for marketing purposes.
F400
In April 2016, Fusion3 introduced the F400. Available as either a single extruder (F400-S) or what it calls the 'high flow rate' (F400-HFR), the F400 is based the same Core XY framework (F-Series Platform) as its predecessor, the F306. The F400 includes a number of additional features, including an enclosed design, 32-bit controller that enables remote management, and automated bed leveling. The F400 build area can accommodate prints up to 14”x14”x12.6” (1.4 cubic feet).
F306
In 2013, Fusion3 introduced the F306 that came in two variants. Available as either a single extruder or dual extruder, the F306 is based on a Core XY framework with an open design, heated bed and E3Dv6 hotend. The F306 build area can accommodate prints up to 12”x12”x12” (1 cubic foot). The F306 line of printers was discontinued in December 2016.
