Stop outsourcing large-scale prints.

Work faster with the Formlabs Form 3L large-format 3D printer. The Form 3L is versatile enough to bring large scale fabrication in-house. Whether you’re packing the build volume for batch production or printing bulky parts, the Form 3L maintains ideal print conditions for nonstop throughput with minimal supervision. Two precision Light Processing Units (LPU) inside the printer achieve consistent accuracy and detail across the entire build platform. This allows for incredible surface finish and the fine detail that stereolithography 3D printing is known for.

Highlights

Intuitive and Efficient

No specialized technicians required. The Form 3L offers automatic resin dispensing, simple print preparation software, and a thoughtfully designed interface.

High-Resolution Touchscreen Interface

A 5.5” interactive full-color display minimizes error and eliminates the need for constant monitoring.

Automated Print Setup

Tested over millions of prints, our free print preparation software, PreForm, automatically suggests optimal orientation, supports, and layout, with the ability to manually refine as needed.

Continousely Evolving

We believe the best products grow better over time, and we’re committed to continually evolving our hardware through software improvements.

Print Around the Clock

Whether you’re packing the build volume for batch production or printing bulky parts, the Form 3L maintains ideal print conditions for nonstop throughput, with minimal supervision.

Cloud Monitoring

Remotely monitor and manage your fleet of printers with the online Dashboard.

Fast-Printing Material

Draft Resin balances detail and speed to save time on bulky prototypes and enable quick iteration.

In-Field Repairs

The Light Processing Units, rollers, optics window, and other components can be replaced in-house to ensure 24/7 uptime.

Incredible Part Quality

Stop sacrificing on quality for large-format prints. The Form 3L provides the smooth surface finish and fine detail that stereolithography 3D printing is known for.

Smooth Surface Finish

Models printed on the Form 3L resemble polished injection-molded for realistic looks-like prototyping and consumer-ready end-use part production.

Consistent Precision

A system of lasers and mirrors ensures uniform print quality, for an XY resolution of 25 microns across the entire build platform. Leading to clear and smooth prints.

High Translucency

With precise layer registration and smooth surface finish, translucent materials print clearer than ever, right off the printer

Hassle-Free Materials Management

Choose from a wide range of advanced materials, developed specifically for Formlabs printers by in-house materials scientists. With simplified material switching and automatic resin dispensing, the Form 3L allows you to walk away and focus on other work once your print job starts.

Many Applications, One Printer

Print in over 15 functional resins to support a wide range of workflows on a single platform

Switch Materials In Minutes

Avoid the hassle and mess of purging materials with our swappable cartridge system, cross-compatible with other Formlabs SLA printers.

Automatic Resin Dispensing

Our automated resin system dispenses resin as parts print. The Form 3L holds two cartridges of resin to avoid mid-print interruptions.

Overview

User Replaceable Optical Module
Smart, redesigned optical module allows users to easily replace the core laser module. Reduce downtime, stock backup parts, and allow for future optical module upgrades.

Two Perpendicular Laser Motion Controllers
The Form 3L’s state of the art dual laser system now stays perfectly perpendicular with the build surface ensuring edge to edge consistency at any build volume. Increased spot and overall surface quality.

Low Force Peel
Completely redesigned Peel system reduces peel forces. This allows for more reliable printing of difficult parts, large layers and dramatically improves part quality.

Even Better Print Quality
The Form 3L revolves around part quality, with many laser, peel and support improvements, part quality is more consistent and is even more crisp, beautiful and detailed than ever before.

Smaller Supports Required
Cleanup even easier now with the new low force peel technology. Because of lower forces on the part throughout the print, supports and touch points can be a lot smaller resulting in a much easier post-cleanup process. Less blemishes, less labor, less material used.

Longer Tray Life
Form 3L's Resin tanks now last 20 times longer than standard Form 2 tanks so you can keep churning out parts without worry.

Testimonies

"We have reduced our costs on full-size prototypes from $425 a print to $70 a print [compared to outsourcing]. With that savings, the Form 3L would pay for itself in only three months."

- Matt Tetzl R&D Technician, Black Diamond Equipment

"When we’ve outsourced large scale enclosures, you could still see all of the layer lines. I wasn't able to see them on the Form 3L prints. Being able to quickly iterate on our cosmetic covers to add a level of polish to our R&D efforts is really helpful."

- Louise Katzovitz Mechanical Engineer, Optimus Ride

"We’ve been working with the Form 3 before, so we had high expectations about the Form 3L. Setting the printer up and starting a print is the same process that’s just as easy. All the parts we printed came out accurate and flawless. It is obvious that the Form 3L is a high-quality device and it sets the benchmark in terms of speed, size, and quality."

- Marek Markon Mechanical Engineer, Continental Automotive Austria GmbH

FAQ

What Resin is this Formlabs printer able to use? and can I use 3rd party resins?

This printer is capable of using all of Formlabs resin from its entire material library, 3rd party materials can not be used on this machine. If you are looking for specific materials message us and we can help find you one!

What is the main defining factor between the Form 3+ and the Form 3L?

The print volume is 5x bigger allowing for greater printing capabilities.

If I have a print failure on the 3L, do I have to remove all the resin and clean out the entire tank?

Formlabs recently implemented a new feature allowing print failure cleanup to be as easy and efficient as possible. The Form 3L has an option to print a “Cleaning Mesh” on the resin tank that binds to cured resin into a single piece that can be discarded from the tank, allowing you to get back to printing quickly.
