Formlabs Form 3L 3D Printer

Formlabs Form 3L 3D Printer

Formlabs Form 3L is a resin 3D printer working in LFS (Low Force Stereolithography ™) technology with a working area of ​​335 x 200 x 300 mm. The device allows you to print large-size models in one process with attention to every detail. The printer does not require special working conditions, which means that it can be used in any room.

Formlabs Form 3L

The Form 3L 3D printer is equipped with a 5.5-inch touch screen, which makes it easier to work with the device and eliminates the need for constant monitoring. Form 3L allows you to load 2 cartridges and has an automatic resin dosing system. Additionally, it enables remote monitoring and management of the 3D printer.

The printer has two optical heads (LPU - Light Processing Units) that process two laser beams with a power of 250 mW, thus enabling quick printing of large models during one 3D printing process. Ready prints made on the Form 3L printer have a smooth surface and a realistic appearance of the prototypes.

Many uses, one printer

The printer enables printing on more than 15 resins, thus enabling a wide range of work on one device.

Change materials in minutes

A system of replaceable cartridges compatible with Formlabs SLA printers allows you to avoid the hassle and mess associated with cleaning materials.

Automatic resin feed

The printer has an automated resin dosing system during printing. The Form 3L holds two resin cartridges, ensuring no interruptions in printing.

Form Wash and Form Cure (Optional Accessories)

A 3D printer working in the SLA / LFS Formlabs Form 3L technology requires appropriate peripheral devices to work with printouts. Form Wash and Form Cure are intelligent devices for post-processing and processing of models printed in SLA / LFS technology on Form 3L and Form 3BL 3D printers.

Form Wash

Form Wash is a washer for rinsing models from uncured resin residues after printing. Thanks to a special holder, we can mount models for cleaning without removing them from the work table. It is enough to insert a worktable with a printout or place the model directly in the basket. The built-in impeller circulates the isopropyl alcohol (IPA), which guarantees effective and efficient rinsing of the remaining material in every detail. After finishing work, the device will automatically take out the model from the IPA, thus reducing the risk of damaging the finished printout.

Form Cure

Form Cure is a station for exposure and curing of prints. Form Cure L was developed for fully automatic operation. All you need to do is select the predefined settings for a specific resin on the touch screen, insert the model and turn on the device. The device will select the working time and temperature itself to obtain the best print properties. You can also make your own settings as needed.

Professional PreForm software

The printer software supports models designed in any CAD software. To print a model - just generate a file in STL or OBJ format and upload it to the PreForm software. The program will automatically check the correctness of the file and propose ready settings for printing, thanks to which the process of preparing for printing will take up to a few minutes. PreForm has been integrated with the most popular CAD programs to facilitate the modeling process for 3D printing. The software has a simple and convenient interface that guides the user through the entire process of model optimization using advanced algorithms responsible for the appropriate orientation of the model, setting of supports and selection of printing parameters. At the same time - at every stage of printing - the operator has the possibility to fully influence the set settings.

Variable layer height - faster printing without loss of quality

Adaptive layer thickness for 3D Form 3 / Form 3B printers is a setting that balances speed and print quality. When PreForm detects curves, bevels and other features in the model geometry that must be printed in the lower layer, it will automatically adjust the printing parameters. When the software detects walls, columns and other vertical elements that can be printed in one large piece, it will automatically increase the layer height.

PreForm flows smoothly from one layer to the next, which makes sudden jumps in thickness imperceptible. This way, the printing time is reduced without sacrificing resolution. This is one of the unique features of Formlabs, which has a direct impact on the printing speed while maintaining the highest surface quality available on the market.
