Grow Your Capabilities with the Form 3
FDM/FFF and SLA printers both have similar, often complementary features. Many businesses use both machines alongside one another, which can mean the best of both worlds; low-cost rapid prototyping coupled with high quality, functional parts for a wider range of applications.
If your business has an FDM/FFF machine, you’re eligible to receive up to $400 off the Form 3 or Form 3L Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) 3D Printers. Just click the button below to verify ownership of your printer in order to earn either $400 off the Form 3 or Form 3L 3D printer or a free liter of Draft Resin.
This is a limited time offer. For more details and to verify your printer, just click the button below.

Desktop Metal Introduces Fiber
Introducing Fiber
Introducing Fiber, the first 3D printer with AFP continuous carbon fiber reinforcement using high temperature resistant PEEK and PEKK, designed to deliver industrial fiber performance on the desktop
Introducing Fiberâ„¢. Starting at $3,495. Combining continuous fiber tape with industry-proven composites, Fiberâ„¢ makes it possible for every engineer to create parts with unrivaled strength and lightness, all from their desktop.
Desktop Metal, the company committed to making 3D printing accessible to engineers and manufacturers, announces the world’s first desktop 3D printer to fabricate high resolution parts with industrial grade continuous fiber composite materials used in automated fiber placement (AFP)processes. Based on a new process called micro automated fiber replacement (μAFP), users can now print parts with a superior level of strength and stiffness, and in a broad range of materials, that traditionally required million dollar AFP systems.This affordable new platform produces parts using materials that are two times stronger than steel at one-fifth the weight. Fiber printers feature one of the largest build envelopes of any continuous fiber desktop printer and are designed to […]
