Formlabs® Form 4L

Formlabs®

Form 4L

Built to deliver parts nearly 5x bigger than other desktop 3D printers

Whether you need to print multiple parts in one job to speed up the product development process or keep production running, Formlabs® Form 4L is the right SLA desktop 3D printer for you. It's extremely fast, with large prints in under six hours*.

Form 4L. Big Parts. Blazing Fast.

Form 4L’s speed is driven by Formlabs’ Low Force Display™ Print Engine, a powerful combination of ultra-high power LEDs, collimating lenses, optical filters, and a robust liquid crystal display. Together, they cure each resin layer rapidly — regardless of part size or quantity. With tight tolerances, parts printed in every resin on Form 4L will match your design parameters every time.

*Typical print time using 80th percentile print height (53mm), 100 μm layer height, and any material.
