Formlabs Form 3 SLA Laser 3D Printer

The latest addition to our tool chest is the Formlabs Form 3, SLA laser 3D printer. The Form 3 is the most advanced desktop 3D printer available and its value is immeasurable to our team. We utilize its capabilities to create conceptual models, production validation models, print designs and to generate production-ready components.

The Form 3 is capable of printing at very high resolution in a number of resin formulas, each optimized for the engineering properties desired.

Additionally, when time is of the essence, we can create printed mold tooling directly and eliminate the lead time for machining traditional injection molding tooling.
