Description
The Form 3 3D printer from the manufacturer Formlabs offers flawless, high-quality, fast and affordable prints.
Scale prototyping and production as your business grows with the Form 3, an affordable, industrial-grade 3D printer.
Helps you reduce costs and provide a better market experience using advanced materials.
The Form 3 3D printer uses Low Force Stereolithography (LFS)™ technology.
Pinpoint accuracy
The custom-designed Light Processing Unit (LPU) inside the printer uses a compact lens and mirror system to deliver accurate and repeatable prints.
Clear, clean features: The high power laser is passed through a spatial filter to guarantee a clean laser spot.
Consistent printing: A parabolic mirror ensures that the laser prints perpendicular to the build plane, ensuring uniform quality.
Improved part clarity: With layer registration and improved surface finishing of LFS technology, translucent materials print sharper than ever, straight from the printer.
Non-stop printing
The Form 3 3D printer constantly monitors print performance.
Built-in sensors help maintain ideal printing conditions and send you alerts about the status of your printer.
Closed loop calibration: Optical sensors continuously correct scale and power and can even detect dust.
Smooth material management: Switch between materials in seconds with a simple cartridge system.
User replaceable components: Light processing unit, rollers and optical window are internally replaceable.
Grow Your Business
Start with one or more 3D printers and add capacity as demand grows.
Use the same tool through prototyping and production, and easily expand into new applications.
Industrial quality for all: Form 3 offers industrial capabilities at a fraction of the price of traditional industrial machines.
Get started now: Formlabs 3D printers are ready to plug in and print right out of the box, no specialized training required.
Avoid delays:
Bringing production in-house with Form 3 provides the fast turnaround time and flexibility you need to scale.

Preform Software - Simplified 3D printing setup, management and monitoring
Optimize your printing processes in PreForm Design your model in standard CAD software, and then import your STL or OBJ file into our print preparation software, PreForm.
Prepare your model in minutes, upload it to the printer and let it print.
Fast and reliable one-click printing PreForm's automatic algorithms determine the layout, orientation and supports of your print
Powerful manual controls Expert users can manually adjust a variety of parameters, such as media density and size, to fine-tune results.
Adaptive layer thickness Use this advanced print mode to selectively vary layer thickness throughout your print, balancing high detail and high speed.
Alerts on the go Enable SMS and email notifications in Dashboard to receive notifications when prints are complete or your printer needs attention.
Print remote management Prepare your printer before you go, then start work from anywhere with Remote Print.
