How much does the Farsoon FS812M cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Farsoon FS812M 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 FS812M is a large-format metal additive manufacturing machine whose defining figure is height: the FS812M-U version in Farsoon's table has an effective build size of 810×810×1700mm (31.9×31.9×66.9 in), with eight or ten lasers over the square bed.
A 1700mm Z on an 810 mm square is a column, and the machine is shaped accordingly. It is 6500 mm (255.9 in) tall within external dimensions of 6680×4110×6500 mm (263.0×161.8×255.9 in), and it weighs approx. 23000 KG (50706.3 lb). The building has to be chosen for it. For comparison, the FS1521M is listed at approx. 65000 KG.
The build cylinder is 840×840×1700mm (33.1×33.1×66.9 in), noticeably wider than the 810 mm effective area, and the height includes the build plate. Anyone designing a part for the full Z should ask for the net height first.
Three laser sets appear. The fiber laser entry gives 8 x 500W or 10 x 500W, and a Beam Shaping entry gives 10 x 1000W. The supply row lists three currents to match, 70A/73A/114A at 400V±10%, 3~/N/PE, 50Hz for Europe and China, though the table does not state which current goes with which set. For the US a transformer is sold with the machine. Scanning speed is max. 10 m/s (32.8 ft/s) and layer thickness is 0.02~0.1 mm (0.0008-0.0039 in). Inert gas consumption is 12 - 15 L / min of argon or nitrogen, which over a build of this height adds up to a large standing supply. The room must be held at 22-28°C (71.6-82.4℉).
The material list is short. TA15, GH4099 and 316L are listed outright. Ti6Al4V, IN718 and an entry the table spells AiSi10Mg carry an asterisk that is not explained, so a buyer whose work is in those alloys should get their status confirmed.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Effective build height of 1700mm (66.9 in) over an 810×810 mm (31.9×31.9 in) square bed
- Three listed laser sets: 8 x 500W, 10 x 500W, or 10 x 1000W with Beam Shaping
- TA15, GH4099 and 316L are on the material list without an asterisk
- Layer thickness from 0.02 to 0.1 mm (0.0008-0.0039 in) at a scanning speed of up to 10 m/s (32.8 ft/s)
Limitations
- The machine is 6500 mm (255.9 in) tall and weighs approx. 23000 KG (50706.3 lb), so it needs a tall hall and a prepared foundation
- Only TA15, GH4099 and 316L are listed without an asterisk; Ti6Al4V and IN718 are among those that carry one
- The 1700mm (66.9 in) build height includes the build plate
- Inert gas consumption is 12 - 15 L / min, and the supply row runs up to 114A

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The FS812M-U has an effective build size of 810×810×1700mm (31.9×31.9×66.9 in). The build cylinder is 840×840×1700mm (33.1×33.1×66.9 in). The table notes that the height includes the build plate, so the tallest part is shorter than 1700mm by the plate thickness.
02
Eight or ten. The fiber laser entry lists 8 x 500W or 10 x 500W. A second entry lists 10 x 1000W with Beam Shaping. All work through F theta lenses at a scanning speed of max. 10 m/s (32.8 ft/s).
03
External dimensions are 6680×4110×6500 mm (263.0×161.8×255.9 in), so the machine stands 6500 mm (255.9 in) high, and the weight is approx. 23000 KG (50706.3 lb). Crane clearance above the machine is extra and is not given in the table.
04
For Europe and China the table gives 400V±10%, 3~/N/PE, 50Hz with 70A/73A/114A. There are three currents and three laser sets, but the table does not pair them, so have the figure for the ordered laser set confirmed. US installations use a transformer sold with the machine.
05
The table lists TA15, GH4099 and 316L without qualification. Ti6Al4V, IN718 and an entry spelled AiSi10Mg in the table follow with an asterisk, and no key says what the asterisk stands for. The list closes by saying more materials are to come.
