FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Below you’ll find answers to our most commonly asked questions.

You can count on personalized support around the clock by email, live chat, or by joining a live webinar.

Do other 3D printers have the same technology as the Form 4?

No, Form 4 is the only printer on the market with a Low Force Display™ (LFD) print engine. Most printers on the market do not have any of this technology, let alone all of it.

While there are dozens of unique features in our LFD print engine, these are the six most unique parts:

  • Release Texture: patent pending
  • Light Processing Unit 4: patent pending
  • Flexible Film Resin Tank: patent pending
  • Mixer-based failure detection: patented
  • Backlight Unit with industry-leading optical power
  • Automated resin dispensing
What kind of 3D printer is the Form 4?

Form 4 is a masked SLA printer (MSLA) powered by our Low Force Display™ (LFD) print engine. LFD features six custom hardware subsystems and sets a new standard for speed, reliability, print quality, and materials performance.

Can I use my Form Wash (1st generation) with the Form 4?

Yes, you can remove the parts from the Form 4/4B build platform and use your existing Form Wash. But to fit the new Form 4 build platform which has 19% larger build area (note: 30% larger build volume), you’ll need to upgrade to the new Form Wash (2nd Generation). The maximum part size that can fit in the legacy Form Wash is 14.5 × 14.5 × 17.5 cm. Form Wash (2nd Generation) also has 3x more agitation and improved longevity allowing you to wash 67% more parts before replacing your solvent.

Competitors have LCD screens with 8K and 12K resolution. Why does Form 4 only have 4K resolution?

The number of pixels is only one small factor that goes in producing great parts. Form 4 has a 50um pixel size, highly collimated light, and advanced pixel smoothing to produce razor-sharp detail and smooth surfaces. Based on internal testing and beta feedback, we expect Form 4 to deliver the same print quality as printers with a higher resolution LCD.

Learn more: With LCD screens, transmission and pixel size are inversely related. Form 4 uses a custom LCD screen with an ideal combination of high light transmission for print speed, small pixel size for smooth and sharp prints, and proprietary optical filters for long lifetime. Form 4’s Backlight Unit also plays an important role in print quality. The optical baffle and plano convex lenses deliver highly collimated light that does not spread as it passes through the LCD, delivering sharp details and excellent dimensional accuracy.

Is the Form 4 the fastest SLA printer on the market?

Form 4 is the fastest SLA printer on the market with excellent reliability, print quality, accuracy, materials performance, and part size support. Most modern MSLA printers can deliver similar average print speeds (20-40 mm/hour) for their general purpose materials. But they often have to sacrifice on reliability, print quality, supported part size, accuracy, and/or supported materials to achieve these speeds.

Josh Bendel

Owner, Automation Design

PTC Creo Parametric is more intuitive and there are more options. It is more of a direct input environment and it seems to be a bit more professional.

Mike Goetz

Senior Engineer, Augustine Die and Mold Inc.

I started my career using SolidWorks, then I switched to Pro/ENGINEER which is now Creo. Creo Parametric, in my opinion, is the best CAD software available. I have noticed recently that files created in Solidworks tend to have solid modeling issues and make it difficult to design to the solid models needed. The reputation and performance that Creo has definitely surpasses any other software on the market.

POST PROCESSING

Formlabs’ post-processing solutions allow you to continually produce high quality products and maintain an efficient and clean workspace by simplifying and automating the post-production-process

WHY DO I NEED POST PROCESSING PRODUCTS?

There are two factors that make the post wash process necessary—simultaneously soaking and moving parts in solvent work together to remove the thin layer of liquid resin from the surface of printed parts. The Form Wash and Form Wash L circulate solvent throughout the entire wash cycle, enabling shorter wash times than parts that are left to soak without constant movement.

Post-print curing is need because printing cures the resin to its “green” state. In the green state, some polymer connections are not yet fully reacted. Post-curing parts with additional light and heat strengthens the polymer structure, improving strength, stiffness, and temperature resistance.

Form Wash and Form Cure

The Form Wash and Form Cure streamline you 3D printing process to help you produce high-quality parts with less time and effort.

Originally, these solutions were developed to automate post-processing for the Form 2 and Form 3. If you are printing smaller parts (14.5 x 14.5 x 18.5 cm) on the Form 3L, the Form Wash and Form Cure may still be viable solutions.

Loi Truong

Design Engineer

Initially we were only using the Formlabs printers for product design – now our manufacturing has started to use the 3D printers for their tooling as well. The use of the machines has been migrating down to manufacturing for one of the tools they use for building nest tool fixtures that they use within actual production.

Jeff Martin

Applications Engineer, CPC

Getting the Formlabs products in my hand, I will say that the industrial design is top notch. It is great, beautiful, and very intuitive to use. For me that was a pleasant surprise I wasn’t aware of.

Patrick Gerst

VP of Engineering, CPC

These Formlabs printers run every single night, so there is a lot of iteration going on because it is easy and it’s quick and it’s low cost. By doing this we definitely end up with better designs.

Loi Truong

Design Engineer, CPC

Now there is a quicker turn around. Because we’re using the Formlabs printers, we can do everything right away, not even thinking about the costs. I have the option to go and do it right now, so by tomorrow I can have something in my hand that I can actually look at.

Patrick Hobbs

Product Design Engineer, Brinly-Hardy, Co.

I am very pleased with the level of commitment and dedication that EAC has shown throughout our project. From the beginning of exploring our options of a PDM solution that would work best in our environment, EAC provided the value and confidence that was needed to allow Brinly-Hardy to improve its Product Development processes. They have the knowledge and experience necessary to get the job done. They are willing to work non-conventional hours to ensure the job is completed on time.

Jeff Martin

Applications Engineer, CPC

The reason for suggesting the Formlabs over the other low end SLS –  I’ve seen the accuracy that the SLS machines were capable of when I was doing the electrical pinning. Some guys had samples around and had been talking for quite a while about it.

Loi Truong

Design Engineer

Because we have 3 Formlabs printers now, we are able to make multiple parts for everyone. The flexibility in terms of being able to get a bunch of small parts printed means more efficiency for us.

Patrick Gerst

VP of Engineering, CPC

Being able to prototype has been a huge selling tool for us on the custom side of our business. It’s all about getting customer feedback quickly.

Jeff Martin

Applications Engineer, CPC

My big push for getting the Formlabs printer was when I was doing some electrical connector design. For very long aspect holes or very small diameter holes that were very long or that had steps in them for retaining contacts, the objet printer just didn’t work well because I couldn’t clean out that material very well. And even if I did, the steps were filled in with that wax and I just couldn’t get any of the pins to stick – that’s where the Form 2 was excellent.

Loi Truong

Design Engineer, CPC

With the Formlabs 3D printer we can get the desired sizes and get a true prototype by injection molding prototyping. Looking at the computer is one thing but when you really print it out and get it the right size that you need – you’re able make adjustments on it to see how they fit and how you feel about it.

Patrick Gerst

VP of Engineering, CPC

Resolution is a big deal for us because we make small round parts to be very general. The layer thickness is critical – especially if we are trying to do a little bit of light sealing and things like that. We found that the Formlabs printer was perfect for most of our needs.

Loi Truong

Design Engineer, CPC

So far the Formlabs printers have been exceeding our expectations compared to the last printers we used in terms of getting parts faster and quality.
