To understand what this means, you need to understand what the Formlabs Form 3 replaces.īasically, its predecessors – the Form 1/1+, and Form 2 machines – are inverted SLA machines, where the optics, lasers and so on are located below the build tank, rather than above it, as with more traditional SLA machines.ĭuring a build, the build platform moves incrementally upwards as each layer is built below, in a tank of UV curable resin. The new Formlabs Form 3 drives desktop SLA forwards yet again, introducing a new approach that the company has trademarked as Low Force Stereolithography, or LFS. The start-up’s impressive reworking of stereolithography (SLA) brought this process to the desktop for the first time, making it more accessible, in terms of both device size and price. The Form 3 follows the styling conventions of the previous units, but brings a brand-new take on the SLA build process to marketīack in 2012, Formlabs took the 3D printing world by storm with a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter that raised almost $3 million, making it the most highly funded project on that platform, at that time.
