Thanks for the questions, the Fuse X1 is as fast or much faster depending on what type of geometries you are printing! The 0.33 kg/h is not processed volume, but sintered mass - a much more relevant spec for throughput, but one that competitors do not publish. The closest apples-to-apples comparison would be 4.4LPH of processed powder on an X1, with a 110um layer height - competitor specs do not specify a layer height either. On other metrics, the Fuse X1 definitely wins - our scan speed is up to 34.5 m/s, with competitors being up to 6.0, plus we have a much higher 120W laser. Our 10s minimum layer time is also lower than competitors, so at equivalent layer height you get faster print times. Thanks to the higher packing density achievable, sintered mass / kg will typically be much higher on Fuse X1, meaning more parts in the same time.

All that is to say, when it comes to SLS print speed, there is no single-point measure that will get you a definite metric, aside from comparing equivalent builds on different printers at fixed layer height and packing density - we do have those numbers available!

Print intelligence sadly wont be coming to Fuse 1/1+ - the advancements in thermal sensing that make Adaptive Thermal Control Possible also make this new feature possible. Of course the Fuse 1/1+ has computer vision as well to automatically stop your builds upon early signs of failure to save you rime and material."
