# High-Speed 3D Printers AMESOS and Polymaker Have Debuted the 'Blade 1' 3D FFF Printer By Colin Smith | Published 2022-02-01 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blade-1 References: [3dprint](https://3dprint.com/288541/high-speed-fff-3d-printer-developed-by-polymaker-and-amesos/) & [polymaker](https://polymaker.com/)  'AMESOS,' the Singapore-based 3D printing technologies company, has partnered up with '[Polymaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-print-codex),' the industry-leading printing material company, to develop the 'Blade 1,' a high-speed fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. The two companies worked in collaboration to overcome current limitations of 3D printing, such as extrusion rate, temperature, and build quality. While the two companies are continuing to innovate in this industry together, the Blade 1 is the current culmination of the collaboration. In preliminary test, AMESOS stated that the Blade 1 can print more than 60% faster than other benchtop FFF systems while maintaining the same build durability and staying within a safe temperature range. The largest reason for the increase of speed is the extrusion rate, or the rate at which the printer is capable of accurately outputting materials from its nozzle. This is due to a combination of innovative printing technologies and new materials from Polymaker, leading to the two brands referring to this product as "FFF 2.0."
