How much does the Farsoon FS273M cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Farsoon FS273M that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Farsoon FS273M pairs a 271×271×355 mm (10.7×10.7×14.0 in) effective build size with a single laser, 1×500W as listed or 1×1000W with Beam Shaping as an option. It is a mid-size metal additive manufacturing machine: the build cylinder itself measures 275×275×355 mm (10.8×10.8×14.0 in) and the machine weighs approx. 3300 kg (7275.3 lb).
What stands out in Farsoon's table is the material list. Ti6Al4V, TA15, AlSi10Mg, 316L, 420DS, H13, IN718, CuCrZr, Hastelloy X, CoCrMo and Maraging Steel Grade 300 are listed without qualification. That spans titanium, aluminium, stainless and tool steels, nickel alloys, a copper alloy and cobalt chrome on one platform. 17-4PH, AlMgSc, AlSi7Mg, Pure Copper, W and Ta follow with an asterisk the table does not define, so treat those as needing confirmation. A long list does not remove the work of changing over between alloys, and a shop should still decide which few it will run.
For small jobs there is an optional small circular cylinder of φ165×145 mm, with φ161×145 mm effective. It cuts the amount of material needed to start a build, which helps with expensive alloys and with trial work.
Because there is one beam, build rate depends on that laser alone. The optional 1×1000W Beam Shaping laser is the only listed route to more power; there is no multi-laser version in this table. Layer thickness is 0.02~0.1 mm (0.0008-0.0039 in) and scanning speed is max. 10 m/s (32.8 ft/s) through F theta lenses.
The machine occupies 2930×1660×2390mm (115.4×65.4×94.1 in). Supply for Europe and China is 400V±10%, 3~/N/PE, 50Hz at 30A/40A, with no statement of which current goes with which laser, and a transformer is sold with the machine for the US. Argon or nitrogen is used at 3-5 L / min, in a room held at 22-28°C (71.6-82.4℉).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Broad material list: Ti6Al4V, TA15, AlSi10Mg, 316L, 420DS, H13, IN718, CuCrZr, Hastelloy X, CoCrMo and Maraging Steel Grade 300 are listed without qualification
- Optional 1×1000W Beam Shaping laser in place of the 1×500W single laser
- Optional small circular cylinder, φ165×145 mm (φ161×145 mm effective), for small builds and trials
- Square effective build size of 271×271×355 mm (10.7×10.7×14.0 in)
- Inert gas consumption of 3-5 L / min under argon or nitrogen
Limitations
- Single laser only: the table lists 1×500W or the optional 1×1000W, never more than one beam
- The 1×1000W Beam Shaping laser and the small circular cylinder are both options, not part of the base machine
- 17-4PH, AlMgSc, AlSi7Mg, Pure Copper, W and Ta carry an unexplained asterisk
- Parts are limited to 271 mm (10.7 in) on each side of the bed and 355 mm (14.0 in) in height

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Listed without qualification: Ti6Al4V, TA15, AlSi10Mg, 316L, 420DS, H13, IN718, CuCrZr, Hastelloy X, CoCrMo and Maraging Steel Grade 300. Listed with an asterisk: 17-4PH, AlMgSc, AlSi7Mg, Pure Copper, W and Ta. The table does not explain the asterisk, so confirm those six with Farsoon.
02
Single-laser. The table lists a single 1×500W laser, with a 1×1000W Beam Shaping laser as an option. No two-laser or four-laser version appears in the table for this model. Scanning speed is max. 10 m/s (32.8 ft/s).
03
It is an optional build cylinder of φ165×145 mm, with an effective size of φ161×145 mm, that replaces the standard 275×275×355 mm (10.8×10.8×14.0 in) cylinder for small work. A smaller cylinder needs less material to fill, which is useful when testing an alloy or building a few small parts.
04
External dimensions are 2930×1660×2390mm (115.4×65.4×94.1 in) and the weight is approx. 3300 kg (7275.3 lb). The supply for Europe and China is 400V±10%, 3~/N/PE, 50Hz at 30A/40A, and a transformer is sold with the machine for the US. The operating ambient temperature is 22-28°C (71.6-82.4℉).
05
The FS273M is the larger machine by a wide margin: it weighs approx. 3300 kg (7275.3 lb), against approx. 600 kg (1322.8 lb) for the FS191M. Its standard build area is square, 271×271 mm (10.7×10.7 in) effective, with 355 mm (14.0 in) of height.
