Formlabs Form 3B
The Form 3B is set to transform the way you work with biocompatible materials. This machine is recommended for anyone who wants to print with biocompatible resins and non-biocompatible materials designed for medical professionals, such as Formlabs Model Resin. With a small footprint, this desktop machine is easy to use and maintain and comes with free software. It produces brilliant printing results thanks the Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) technology. There are many applications for biocompatible materials, and we can advise you on how this machine can support your medical, research and biomedical engineering needs.
Key features
- Choose from over ten dedicated, biocompatible materials
- Cartridge system lets you easily switch between material resins
- Machine investment can pay back in as little as seven weeks
- Print three times more in a single print compared to small Digital Light Processing (DLP) printers
- Form 3B can run 24/7 with smart sensors and remote printing
- Machine parts can be easily replaced by you
- LFS technology uses a flexible resin tank and a light processing unit to produce excellent quality, smooth, accurate parts
- High resolution, 5.5-inch touch screen makes it easy to control the machine
- Use the Form Wash and Form Cure to automate the rinsing and curing process, simplifying post-processing
Simple workflow
It is a simple process to deliver parts with exceptional quality and reliability, every time. Import scan data or design a part on CAD software, then import it into the PreForm software to prepare for print. Send it to the Form 3B to print the model, then wash, dry and cure the part. It is then ready to be used.
Easy to use software
The PreForm software works on Windows and Mac and is free from licenses or annual fees, so you can install it on as many computers as you want. It helps you prepare your designs for printing in just a few steps and sends instructions to the Form 3B by Wi-Fi, USB or Ethernet. You can also use the dashboard to manage all the Formlabs machines you own, start jobs from anywhere with remote print and receive text and email notifications when it’s finished.
