What printing technology does the Formlabs Form 3 use?
The Form 3 is a desktop stereolithography (SLA) printer that uses Formlabs' proprietary Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) technology. This technology uses a flexible resin tank and linear illumination to reduce peel forces during the printing process.
When was the Formlabs Form 3 released?
The Formlabs Form 3 was officially released in 2019. It was introduced as a major upgrade over the Form 2, focusing on improving print reliability and surface finish.
How does the LFS technology on the Form 3 improve part quality?
By significantly reducing the mechanical forces exerted on the print during the peeling process, LFS technology results in parts with smoother surfaces and less internal stress. This also improves the overall reliability of the printer and reduces the likelihood of failed prints.
How do you clean prints made on the Formlabs Form 3?
Printed parts must be washed in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to remove uncured liquid resin, typically using the Form Wash station. After washing, the parts must be exposed to UV light to fully cure the plastic using a device like the Form Cure.
