Formlabs Form 2 | The Workflow

The complete Formlabs ecosystem
From start to finish is designed to make SLA printing as easy as possible.

What sets Formlabs apart is how meticulously designed the workflow is from start to finish. When printing SLA, it’s not just about the printer. It’s how easy it is to set up in the preform software. Automatically flagging problem areas, and auto orientation.

The Resins, specifically designed for certain industries and applications with all the laser and timing settings calculated under the hood so you don’t need to worry about the right calibration or settings.

The printer, allowing quick, mess free material changes and auto dispensing.

To the automated wash and post cure systems to minimize human error and involvement.

Feature overview | Is SLA right for you?

Resin (SLA) vs. Filament (FDM) | Comparison
Unmatched quality and precision

SLA printing quality

Unlike FDM printing, the FORM 2 uses a user to selectively cure specially designed photoreactive resins. Producing parts with unparalled surface quality. The results speak for themselves with prints resolving more detail and finer surface finish with bearly any visible layer lines.
Clear prints

and isotropic parts

The Form2 is capable of producing solid, optically clear parts. There are no microscopic air gaps between printing layers so your parts end up solid, clear and strong in all directions. There is no inherient weakness along the grain as in virtually all FDM prints.
Unique material porfolio

Specially formulated resins

Unlike FDM printing which relies on heat to melt materials and allow them to solidify into shape. SLA cures liquid resin with a UV laser which allows for some fundamentally different materials compared to FDM. HIgh temp, castable and bio-compatable resins only possible on the SLA.
Ultra fine resolution
SLA technology allows for high resolution rendering of your 3D Prints at an incredible level. Small features, smooth textures and fine details down to 25 microns are rendered and give your prints that professional finish someone might expect in a final product.
Reduced layer lines
Minimum details are not defined by your nozzle size or affected by heat. While FDM prints may fail on small details due to excess heating in a small area or stringing, none of these problems exist with SLA.

Materials | Resins for all your applications

Formlabs features specially formulated resins whether your use case is engineering or artistry. With a wide selection of materials, let us help you find the material that is right for you.

Engineering resins

Superior mechanical properties

Flexible
Simulates 80A Durometer rubber. Use this versatile material to produce parts that need to bend and compress. Flexible is excellent for simulating soft-touch materials and adding ergonomic features to multi-material assemblies.
Tough
Simulates ABS plastic
With comparable tensile strength and modulus. Perfect for functional prototyping, this sturdy, shatter-resistant material has been developed to withstand high stress and strain.
Durable
Simulates Polypropalyne
With comparable low modulus and high-impact strength. Use this wear-resistant, ductile material when parts require deformation and a smooth, glossy finish.
Rigid
Glass Reinforced
Rigid Resin is reinforced with glass to offer very high stiffness and a polished finish. This material is highly resistant to deformation over time and is great for printing thin walls and features.
Grey Pro
Hi Precision, Low Creep
Grey Pro Resin offers high precision, moderate elongation, and low creep. This material is great for concept modelling and functional prototyping, especially for parts that will be handled repeatedly.

Standard resins

Easy affordable everyday use

Standard resins
High detail matte finish.
Your go to option for almost any application. With a high detail matte finish, or astonishingly clear prints. Standard resins fit the bill for both quality and price.

Specialty Resins

Uniquely formulated resins for specific applications

High Temp
HDT @ 0.45 MPa of 289 °C
The highest on the 3D printing materials market. This material is great for static applications that will undergo higher temperatures. High Temp can also be used for production processes such as casting and thermoforming.
Castable Resin
Investment casting resin
Burns out cleanly with no ash or residue, capturing your high-resolution prints through investment casting.
Elastic Resin
For Soft, Flexible Parts
Formlabs' softest Engineering Resin, this 50A Shore durometer material is suitable for prototyping parts normally produced with silicone. Choose Elastic Resin for parts that will bend, stretch, compress, and hold up to repeated cycles without tearing.
