Formlabs has announced new pricing for educational institutions. Their goal with this initiative is to drive innovation and creativity in academia and beyond. The price drop will enable teachers, students, and researchers across all manner of schools and colleges. But who is included in Formlabs updated educational pricing? And what does the pricing include? Let’s dive in.
Formlabs Updated Educational Pricing
Formlabs, the largest supplier of professional stereolithography (SLA) and selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printers, just announced new pricing for educational institutions. According to their announcement, this pricing applies to accredited school from any level of education including K-12.
So what does the Formlabs updated educational pricing include? This transformative program includes a 10% discount on Formlabs 3D printer packages and complimentary access to Open Material Mode (OMM) for eligible institutions. Making these cutting-edge tools more accessible empowers your institution to explore new frontiers, foster creativity, and drive innovation.
Formlabs 3D Printer Packages
What 3D printers does the updated educational pricing apply to? The discount encompasses the entire array of Formlabs exceptional printers, including the Form 4 and Form 4B, which boast a remarkable 99% reliability rate as verified by independent third-party testing. The offerings also extend to the Form 4L and Form 4BL for large-format SLA 3D printing and the Fuse 1+ 30W, an SLS 3D printer engineered for maximum output with minimal waste.
Open Material Mode
Each educational printer package purchase also comes with complimentary access to Formlabs Open Material Mode, a feature valued between $2,499 and $4,999 based on the printer model. This access grants unparalleled material versatility, allowing users to experiment with a diverse range of 405 nm resins (SLA) and 1064 nm powders (SLS). Such versatility opens the window to both a deeper exploration of material science and significantly expands research possibilities, enabling educational institutions to push the boundaries of innovation and discovery.
3D Printing Materials
Formlabs provides a wide variety of materials: powders and resins with varying applications. While the new pricing for educational institutions does not apply to these materials, all Formlabs customers are eligible for bulk material discounts. Departments can reduce research project and classroom instruction costs by purchasing larger amounts of printing materials upfront.
Bringing Innovation Into the Classroom and Beyond
From research to classroom learning, the Formlabs updated educational pricing opens the door to opportunities. With access to these high-quality SLA and SLS printers, students and faculty alike can learn, create, and grow to shape not just their future, but ours as well. There is, however, more to the process than simply purchasing a Formlabs 3D printer package. There’s also set up, materials, and troubleshooting. That’s where EAC comes in.
