Formlabs Formlabs Form Studio 1 Resin 3D Printer - Standard Edition Graphite
The Form Studio 1 is Formlabs most accessible SLA 3D printer. The Form Studio 1 is the first affordable, professional-grade resin 3D printer with a powerful, long-lasting print engine and an open platform. It 3D prints most parts in under two hours with razor-sharp detail, powered by the same Low Force Display (LFD) architecture as the Form 4, updated for this printer.
- A majority of parts will 3D print in under two hours, with speeds up to 130 mm/h on Alpha Fast Resin.
- Amazing parts at a 35 µm pixel, anti-aliasing, and resins tuned to the light engine deliver sharp edges and smooth surfaces.
- Integrated, automatic resin handling allows hands-free dispensing with glove-free material swaps in under a minute.
- Open Material Mode is included so that customers can print in any 405 nm resin with no license fee.
- Five intelligent control systems monitor temperature, resin level, print force, and print status on every job.
Formlabs Form Studio 1 3D Printer
Pro Resin Printing for All
The Formlabs Form Studio 1 is a game-changer for advanced and industrial-level SLA printing. Formlabs Form Studio 1 SLA resin 3D printer delivers professional-quality parts in a compact, beginner-friendly desktop package with automatic resin handling.

- Built on Formlabs' proven printing platform and engineering.
- Compact desktop footprint suited for studios, classrooms, and small shops.
A Part of the Form 4 Family
The Formlabs SLA Ecosystem brings professional resin 3D printing within reach of any user or workspace. Built around the Form Studio 1 3D printer, it combines a custom 28-LED lens array, Release Texture V2, and validated material settings to deliver fast, dimensionally accurate parts with smooth, detail-rich surfaces. Paired with low-odor Alpha Resins and an intelligent monitoring system, this ecosystem is engineered for reliability from the first 3D print to the last.
- Form Studio 1 enhances the capabilities of the Form 4 3D printer, complementing its features rather than replacing them.
- Most 3D prints are complete in under two hours due to a custom lens array and 28 LEDs delivering a uniform 6 mW/cm² light field.
- 30 µm pixels with finely tuned anti-aliasing capture subpixel detail for crisp, clean part surfaces.
- ±0.15% XY dimensional tolerance ensures assemblies fit together as designed, every time.
Formlabs Flexibility
Form Studio 1 supports Formlabs' growing library of validated resins and offers Open Material Mode for users who want to experiment with third-party materials. This flexibility makes it easy to dial in the right material for your specific application. Whether that's engineering resins, flexible materials, or specialty formulations not in the standard library.
- Compatible with Formlabs' validated resin ecosystem.
- Open Material Mode supports third-party resin experimentation.
- Versatile enough for prototyping, education, jewelry, and more.
Clean, Safe, and Effortless
Form Studio 1 tackles cleanliness head-on with automatic resin handling and glove-free material swaps. The optional dedicated wash, cure, and air filtration accessories complete a fully integrated workflow that keeps your workspace tidy and your 3D prints consistent from file to finished part.
- Automatic resin handling reduces manual steps and spills.
- Glove-free material swaps for faster, cleaner resin changes.
- Optional wash, cure, and filtration accessories for a complete end-to-end setup.
