Explore SLA and SLS 3D printing technology from Formlabs
Formlabs produces accessible, industrial-grade 3D printing platforms that enable innovation in product development, design, and manufacturing. Their range of SLA and SLS 3D printers are simple to use but offer a wide range of capabilities including exceptional part quality, a wide material portfolio, and streamlined post-processing.
Desktop blazing-fast masked SLA 3D printer
Powered by the Formlabs Form 4 3D printing ecosystem, you can turn your ideas into reality faster than ever with easy workflows, leading reliability, and stunning part quality. The new Low Force Display™ Print Engine unlocks significant gains in all aspects of 3D printing performance; speed, reliability, part size, print quality, accuracy and materials support.
Form 4™ uses a custom LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) inside Formlabs® Low Force Display™ (LFD) print engine, which features 17 optical components, a patent-pending release texture, and a flexible film tank. They all play a role in ensuring unprecedented speed, reliability, print quality, & material performance.
