Formlabs®
Form Wash & Form Cure
A simple and easy to use post-processing workflow for 3D printing with resin
Form Wash and Form Cure 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.
Bake to Get Peak Performance
Form Cure is nicely tuned to bring parts to their maximum mechanical properties.
80
DEGREES CELSIUS
Advanced heating system precisely controls curing temperatures up to 80°C.
405
NANOMETERS
13 multi-directional LEDs emit the optimal wavelength of light for curing Formlabs materials.
1 REVOLUTION PER MINUTE
Uniform exposure during post-curing is possible thanks to a rotating turntable.
Form Cure’s turntable rotates to provide uniform exposure. The heating system preheats the chamber to get parts ready for optimum post-curing.
Once the chamber is heated, 13 LEDs trigger the post-curing reaction, bringing parts to their maximum mechanical properties.
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.
