Prototipazione
Verify and optimize your design to achieve a product that is perfect in every aspect. 3D printing enables extremely fast, easy and cost-effective production of high-quality prototypes, which are essential for experimenting with alternatives or verifying every functional, aesthetic and design aspect, avoiding slowdowns and errors.
Form Wash 2nd Gen
Automatically cleans printed parts efficiently and precisely with isopropyl alcohol or other solvents. Leave the parts on the printing plate when you transfer them from the printer to the Form Wash, or remove them and place them in the wash basket. The parts are agitated in a solvent with an impeller, which allows every nook and cranny to be cleaned to perfection, automatically and for the appropriate length of time. When finished, the Form Wash automatically pulls out the parts to air dry.
PreForm®
PreForm® is the software that makes printing preparation easy and intuitive.
It prepares templates automatically in minutes, loads them on the printer, and starts printing.
PreForm’s algorithms automatically set the layout, orientation, and media of your print so that you can print without the need for specialized training.
PreForm provides detailed information about your prints, has validated settings, offers the ability to customize settings. Supports the most popular file formats.
Allows printing to be started remotely. Checks printability of files in real time. Provides for advanced media generation and offers intelligent automatic part orientation.
Very fast
With print speeds up to four times faster than previous Form series printers and a 30 percent larger print volume, Form 4 represents an evolution in resin 3D printing.
Form 4's speed comes from Formlabs' new print engine with Low Force Display™ technology, which combines powerful LEDs, collimation lenses, optical filters, and a liquid crystal display that cure each resin layer quickly, regardless of part size or quantity.
The reliability and ease-of-use of the Formlabs ecosystem enable most prints to be made in less than two hours or quick models in minutes.
Flexible
In combination with Formlabs' extensive catalog of materials, Form 4 opens the way to new opportunities for innovation and production. With so many familiar materials and 5 newly formulated resins specifically for Form 4, the applications are countless.
With the Open Platform option, the possibilities then truly extend to every industry.
Intuitive
Learning to use Form 4 is child's play. Anyone can be up and running in 15 minutes.
Reliable and precise for extraordinary parts
Form 4 has an unmatched printing success rate. It makes parts that are no match for injection molded parts.
Build Platform Flex
Form 4 Build Platform Flex, with its Quick Release Technology, allows parts to be quickly and easily removed from the print surface, without using any tools. Build Platform Flex, recommended for almost all types of printing, eliminates the risk of damaging parts and streamlines the workflow.
Resin Tank
Form 4's Low Force Display (LFD)™ 3D printing technology uses a flexible yet durable reservoir with a dual-layer coating film to ensure uniform, high-quality prints. Each resin tank includes a reusable lid, which allows for stacking of multiple tanks and storage of resin outside the machine. With a dedicated tank for each type or color of resin, changing print materials is even easier.
The resin tank for Form 4 is designed to last and provide consistent performance for at least 75 000 print layers (averaging about 1-2 years of use).
