Form 4
Form 4 is a blazing fast masked SLA 3D printer that combines an industry-leading materials library with a reliable, accurate print engine. Turn your ideas into reality faster than ever with easy workflows, leading reliability, and stunning part quality using the Form 4 ecosystem.
Form 4’s speed is driven by Formlabs’ new Low Force Display™ Print Engine, a powerful combination of ultra-high power LEDs, collimating lenses, optical filters, and a robust liquid crystal display. Together they cure each layer of resin rapidly — regardless of part size or quantity. With tight tolerances, parts printed in every resin on Form 4 will match your design parameters, every time.
Form 4 Resin Tank
Low Force Display (LFD)™ 3D printing uses a flexible yet strong dual-layer film tank for consistent, high-quality prints. Every resin tank includes a reusable lid, making it easy to stack tanks and store resin outside of the machine. With a separate tank for each individual resin color or type, switching materials is as easy as sliding in a new tank.
Resin Tanks are built to last and deliver consistent performance for at least 75,000 layers of printing (typically 1-2 years for the average user).
Form 4 Build Platform
Form 4 Build Platform Flex with Quick Release Technology allows you to quickly and easily remove parts from the print surface without tools in seconds. Recommended for almost all prints, Build Platform Flex eliminates the risk of damaging your part and streamlines your workflow.
Form 4 Build Platform has a durable aluminum surface. A spare Build Platform can speed up your workflow and allow for nonstop printing, whether you’re changing resins or starting a new print while you remove your part.
Form Wash (2nd Generation)
Form Wash automatically cleans printed parts thoroughly and efficiently with IPA or alternative solvents. Keep parts directly on the Build Platform as you transition them from the printer to Form Wash or remove parts and place them in the wash basket. Parts are precisely and thoroughly agitated in solvent with an impeller, getting every nook and cranny perfectly clean, automatically for the appropriate time. When washing completes, the Form Wash automatically raises parts out of the IPA so they can air dry.
Please note: the agitation has been improved over the previous Form Wash generation (by 30%) and it is compatible with Build Platforms for Form 2, Form 3 & Form 4.
Form 4 Resins
5 resins that have been reformuated for the Form 4 – see below. In addition, there are several engineering and medical grade resins that are also supported on this platform.
