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.

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.
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.
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.
