Learn about Formlabs 3D printing technologies

Formlabs specializes in two key 3D printing technologies that deliver excellent results in a variety of applications:

Stereolithography (SLA/LFS) from Formlabs

This technology involves layered hardening of photosensitive resin using a laser beam or an advanced light source (LFS - Low Force Stereolithography, an improved version of SLA). Formlabs SLA/LFS printers, such as the Form 3 and Form 4 series, are renowned for their exceptional precision, smooth surfaces and ability to create intricate details, making them ideal for prototyping, dentistry and medicine.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) from Formlabs

Formlabs SLS printers, represented by the Fuse series, use a laser to sinter polymer powders. This technology allows the production of durable, functional parts with isotropic mechanical properties (the same in all directions) and eliminates the need for supports, which facilitates post-processing and reduces material costs.

Parts, accessories and materials for Formlabs 3D printing

Formlabs are not just printers, they are comprehensive solutions that improve the entire work process, from design to the finished product. The manufacturer offers a wide selection of high-performance Formlabs 3D printing materials, including Formlabs SLA resins. The offer includes standard resins for rapid prototyping, engineering (e.g. Tough, Flexible, Rigid), dental (e.g. Dental Model, Surgical Guide), medical (biocompatible) and foundry. The modern Smart Resin system with cartridges automatically feeds the resin, ensuring clean and effective service.

Formlabs also offers high-performance powders, such as Nylon 12, Nylon 11, and their reinforced versions (Nylon 12 GF, Nylon 12 CF), as well as flexible TPU 90A Powder.

After printing, the models require appropriate post-processing to achieve optimal properties. Formlabs offers automated stations that make it easy:

• Formlabs Form Wash / Form Wash L (also 2nd generation) – These are automatic washers for effective removal of uncured resin. The larger L and 2nd Generation Form Wash L models are ideal for large prints, offering dual solvent tanks, a magnetic stirrer and automatic print lifting to save time and ensure repeatability.
• Formlabs Form Cure / Form Cure L (also 2nd generation) – UV chambers for post-curing, crucial for obtaining full strength and dimensional stability of prints, especially engineering and biomedical ones. They provide precise temperature control (up to 80°C), uniform exposure thanks to a rotating platform and ready-made curing profiles for all Formlabs resins.
• Formlabs Fuse Sift – An intelligent SLS powder recovery station that automates the cleaning, separation and mixing of unsintered material. It minimizes waste and reduces production costs, while ensuring the cleanliness of the working environment thanks to built-in filters.
• Industrial vacuum cleaner - An essential element for maintaining a dust-free working environment with SLS printers, it effectively sucks out unbaked powder, protecting the user and the surroundings.
