Form Studio1
Pro Resin Printing for Anyone
Starting at$699
Learn to print in10 minutes
Most prints finish in under two hours. Engineered for speed.
A custom lens array and 28 LEDs deliver a uniform, highly collimated 6 mW/cm² light field that cures resin quickly and evenly. Release Texture V2 and a flexible film tank reduce peel forces for faster printing without compromising surface finish or fine detail.

Every material setting is calibrated for dimensional accuracy, so assemblies fit together as designed.
Alpha Resins. Next-generation general purpose resins for stunning, precise parts.
Open: print with any resin
Start with validated Formlabs resins for reliable results out of the box, or branch out to third-party resins with no license fee.
Alpha Model ResinA deep, fully matte, neutral surface that captures every detail, down to the smallest crevice and texture, and paints beautifully.
Alpha Fast ResinPrototype and iterate faster with print speeds up to 130 mm/hr, for components in minutes or entire build volumes in less than 2 hours.
Alpha Clear ResinOptical clarity, crisp fine features, and smooth, dimensionally accurate surfaces for see-through parts that fit together.
Alpha Black ResinRich matte color, crisp fine features, and smooth, dimensionally accurate surfaces for parts that are display-ready and fit together.
Alpha Grey ResinRich matte color, crisp fine features, and smooth, dimensionally accurate surfaces for parts that are display-ready and fit together.

98% print success. Validated settings and intelligent monitoring on every print.
Every material comes with validated print settings, tuned on hundreds of test parts. During each print, intelligent control systems monitor resin temperature, resin level, print forces, and leveling, and an integrated camera shows progress remotely in the Form Mobile App.
A resin printer that’s safe to use wherever you work.

Low VOC emissions
Low-odor Alpha Resins are the first to achieve UL GREENGUARD Gold*, an independent standard certifying low VOC emissions for homes, offices, schools, and other indoor environments.
-
Skin-safe parts
Alpha Resins are certified to ISO 10993 for long-term (>30 days) skin contact when printed on Form Studio 1 and post-processed per Formlabs guidelines. Printed parts are non-cytotoxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing.
-
Minimize risks
Liquid resin scores as a non-skin irritant under OECD 439, a standard commonly used in the cosmetics industry, to minimize the risks from incidental skin contact.
*When printed on Form Studio 1 using VOC Extractor.

Pro resin printing, made accessible: most prints finish in under two hours.
-
01
Select a material
Load a validated Formlabs resin cartridge and print with validated settings tuned for that material.
-
02
File set up
Import your model into the print preparation software, PreForm, and set up your print with one click, or orient and add supports yourself. Real-time printability checks flag issues before you hit print.
-
03
Print
Insert a cartridge, tank, and build platform, and automatic resin dispensing handles the rest. Confirm your setup and start, queue, or track prints remotely from the Form Mobile App or free Dashboard software.
-
04
Wash
Wash parts on or off the build platform in the Form Studio 1 Wash+Cure. When you are ready to remove them, a quick flex of the quick-release build platform pops parts free with no scraping. Let parts air dry completely before curing.
-
05
Cure
Remove light-touch supports by hand, then slot the turntable into the Form Studio 1 Wash+Cure to cure your parts. Curing brings each part to its final mechanical properties, ready to use as is or to sand, coat, and paint.
