Introducing Form 4

Print with Formlabs Full Range of Materials

Formlabs Wash V2

All SLA 3D printed parts require washing to remove residual resin. Form Wash automatically cleans printed parts thoroughly and efficiently with IPA or alternative solvents.

Keep parts directly on the Build Platform as you transition them from the printer to Form Wash, or remove parts and place them in the wash basket. Parts are precisely and thoroughly agitated in solvent with an impeller, getting every nook and cranny perfectly clean, automatically for the appropriate time. When washing completes, Form Wash automatically raises parts out of the solvent so they can air dry, avoiding over-soaked, warped prints.

Form Wash is compatible with all Formlabs desktop SLA 3D printers.

Formlabs Wash L V2

All SLA 3D printed parts require washing to remove residual resin. Form Wash L automatically cleans printed parts thoroughly and efficiently with IPA or alternative solvents.

Keep parts directly on the Build Platform as you transition them from the printer to Form Wash L, or remove parts and place them in the wash basket. Parts are precisely and thoroughly agitated in solvent with an impeller, getting every nook and cranny perfectly clean, automatically for the appropriate time. When washing completes, Form Wash automatically raises parts out of the solvent so they can air dry, avoiding over-soaked, warped prints.

Use Form Wash L with all of your Formlabs SLA 3D printers. Wash one Form 4L build platform or two Form 4 build platforms with the included build platform adapter.

Formlabs Cure V2

Form Cure V2 precisely combines heat and 405 nm light to deliver tough, strong prints with unprecedented speed and consistency. Now you can post-cure Form 4/B prints in as little as 60 seconds, with 4x more UV power, 5x faster heat-up times, and a 1.3x larger chamber.

To begin curing, just select a validated preset for Formlabs 45+ materials. Advanced users can customize time and temperature to fit their specific needs.

Post-curing completes the chemical reaction started during printing, enhancing final part strength, toughness, heat resistance, and creep resistance while creating a harder, less tacky surface. For biocompatible materials, post-curing is necessary to achieve the safety standards determined by regulatory agencies.

Real World Use Cases and Results

Streamlining Workflow

Microsoft: Streamlined Workflow on the Cutting Edge of Technology

Mark Honschke has led rapid prototyping at Microsoft’s Advanced Prototyping Center(APC), where 95% of the tech giant’s hardware products are designed, tested, or developed. The APC stays true to Microsoft’s commitment to speed — Honschke likens the center’s work to ‘running a marathon at a sprinter’s pace.’ His team takes in requests from over 80 hardware categories — and multiple teams within those categories — while consistently delivering on a 24-hour turnaround time. Adding Form 4 and Form 4L to the fleet has enabled Honschke to run more printing shifts — switching over some builds from overnight to a ‘day build’ schedule to accelerate iteration and improve productivity.

Results

  • Faster Iteration and Increased Productivity with the FormLabs 2 fast printing
  • High-Quality, Engineering-Grade Materials

Ease in Automation

Rent the Sky Films: Camera Cable Harness

They print custom cable adapters for a 15 lb, handheld 3D camera that replaces conventional 100 lb rigs. These adapters consolidate cabling to a single interface point, making the camera simpler and easier to operate. Rent the Sky Films founder Scott Ferril describes this part as “the difference between getting the shots you want vs. the shots you have time for.”

Vega is Markforged’s first engineered high temperature plastic — an ultra high-performance carbon fiber filled PEKK for 3D printing critical aerospace parts. Vega can be reinforced with continuous fiber to achieve aluminum strength for replacing structural, non-critical aerospace components. It exhibits a smooth black matte surface finish that is excellent for production parts with minimal post processing.
