BIG IDEAS THAT NEED BIG PLATFORMS
Using two precision Light Processing Units, the Form 3L's perfectionism scales with its build size. This resin 3D printer maintains consistent accuracy and detail despite having a large-format build platform so you can fabricate those larger-than-life ideas at full-scale in-house.
- Large Build Volume: 335×200×300mm (13.2"×7.9"×11.8")
- Print bigger without compromising print resolution
- Save time keeping large prototyping in-house
LOW FORCE FOR HIGH QUALITY
Formlabs Form 3L achieves incredible print quality thanks to its trademark technology—Low Force Stereolithography (LFS). By combining a flexible tank with linear illumination, the forces exerted on parts during the printing process are drastically reduced leading to sharp details that are finer than ever, parts snapping cleanly off supports, and reliable print results that are easily repeatable.
- High-quality, repeatable prints with two custom Light Processing Units (LPU)
- Smooth surfaces with LPU's linear illumination
- Clean support removal with reduced peel force
AROUND THE CLOCK PRINTING
Focus on bringing your innovative ideas to life while the Form 3L monitors its print performance. Ideal print conditions are maintained thanks to its integrated sensors to ensure minimal human supervision for nonstop throughput. Other features for efficient production include:
- Monitor & manage machines with online Dashboard
- Balance print speed and details with Draft Resin for fast iteration
- Achieve 24/7 uptime thanks to many Formlabs components that can be replaced in-house
ADVANCED MATERIALS FOR PROFESSIONAL PARTS
Developed by their team of in-house materials scientists, Formlabs has the most comprehensive library of high-performance materials on the market for you to choose from. Find the right material that delivers standout engineering-grade results and meets your project's industrial needs.
- Smooth finish resembles injection-mold parts
- Consistent, uniform print quality up to 25 microns across the entire build platform
- Guaranteed print success and reliability when using Formlabs materials
EASY, EFFICIENT ECOSYSTEM
