Formlabs® Form Wash and Form Cure
Formlabs®
Form Wash & Form Cure (2nd Generation)
Simple & easy to use post-processing workflow for 3D printed parts in less than 15 minutes
Form Wash and Form Cure (2nd generation) are Formlabs' automated and mess-free post-processing systems are designed to reduce labour time and deliver consistent part quality with every print job. They're part of the Formlabs' reliable SLA 3D printing ecosystem. Take advantage of the additive manufacturing perks and benefits with these finishing solutions.
Form Wash
Automated Part Rinsing
The Form Wash system washes your parts using a timer so you can set it and forget it. You can go glove-free since the parts go directly from the Form 3+ printer to the Form Wash without any intermediate steps.

Smart & Automated Workflow.
Parts are precisely agitated in IPA to get every nook and cranny perfectly clean. Form Wash automatically lifts them from the IPA when the washing cycle ends to avoid over-soaking and warped prints. Once they’re air-dried, they’re ready for curing.
Included components with Form Wash
HYDROMETER
Form Wash has a custom hydrometer tool to help you check the IPA saturation.
STORAGE
This storage accessory is placed behind the wash bucket to keep finishing tools clean and organized.
SIPHON PUMP
Form Wash comes with a siphon pump for an easy IPA transfer into and out of the wash bucket.
Tougher, Stronger 3D Printed Parts with FORM CURE 2nd Gen
Form Cure (2nd Generation) precisely combines heat and 405 nm light to deliver tough, strong prints with unprecedented speed and consistency. Now you can post-cure Form 4/B prints in as little as 60 seconds, with 4x more UV power, 5x faster heat-up times, and a 1.3x larger chamber. To begin curing, just select a validated preset for Formlabs 45+ materials. Advanced users can customize time and temperature to fit their specific needs.
48 LED ARRAY
Form Cure 2nd. Gen is equipped with 48 LED arrays and a convective heating system to ensure uniform light and heat exposure. It delivers 14.5 mW/cm² irradiance and a maximum temperature of 100 °C.
LARGER CHAMBER
Designed to fit any part on Form 4 or Form 4L, with a 235 mm turntable for Form Cure and a 395 mm turntable for Form Cure L.
PRE-SET CURING CYCLES
Formlabs’ Form Cure 2 comes with pre-programmed curing cycles, an easily cleaned glass turntable, and a side-hinged door to allow easy access within a compact footprint.
The importance of Post-Curing
Post-curing improves your part on a molecular level. 405 nm light initiates a reaction that cross-links the individual polymers, creating an interconnected, isotropic, and 100% dense final part.
- Higher strength and stiffness
- Higher surface hardness
- Higher toughness
- Higher temperature resistance
- Better creep resistance
Maximize Material Properties
Parts 3D printed with Formlabs® Standard Resins can be cured at default time and temperature. For all other materials, use recommended settings for optimum performance.
