Formlabs Form 3L
If you need to print large parts in-house, look no further. The Form 3L from Formlabs takes the principles behind its successful range of Stereolithography machines and scales them up. The result is a machine aimed squarely at professionals that need a fast, affordable resin 3D printer they can rely on.
With a build volume five times greater than that on the Form 2 and Form 3, the Form 3L is designed to produce detailed parts at scale. A powerful laser and a flexible tank combine in a technology called Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) for improved quality and lighter supports. With over 20 materials available to choose from, all in an easy-to-use cartridge system, the Form 3L lets you produce affordable, functional parts effortlessly.
Key Features
- A build volume of 30 × 33.5 × 20cm for accurate, repeatable parts at scale.
- Two Light Processing Units work with a system of mirrors and lenses for unparalleled speed and efficiency.
- Capacity for two resin cartridges that are simple to switch so the machine can keep going during more complex jobs.
- Sensors constantly correct the job for the ultimate finish, even adjusting for the presence of dust.
- Many machine parts can be replaced by the user, removing the need to send the machine back for repair if it’s ever needed.
- 5-inch touchscreen makes it easy to control your job queue with just a few quick taps.
Print remotely
With the Form 3L, you can send design files to print remotely from wherever you are working. If you are finishing off a design at home, you can send it to the machine to print and have your part ready for inspection when you get into the office in the morning.
Easy to use software
Once you have finalised your design in your preferred CAD package, all you need to do is import the STL or OBJ file to the PreForm software, which works on both Mac and Windows computers. The software’s algorithms will set up the print’s orientation and supports automatically for you, ensuring you don’t need special training to get a part printed.
