Formlabs Form 3L
The Formlabs Form 3L 3D printer is designed for big results with small details. With a large print build capacity of 335mm x 200mm x 300mm, the Form 3L uses the Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) printing process to produce large industrial-quality parts, quickly.
LFS is an advanced form of stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing technology that uses linear illumination and a flexible tank to turn liquid resin into flawless prints.
The build volume of the Form 3L is 5 times larger than the Form 3 and combined with two custom-designed Light Processing Units (LPUs), two lasers simultaneously build large, dense parts quickly, making the Form 3L ideal for large prototypes, models, props, moulds and manufacturing aids.
The Form 3L is compatible with the range of Formlabs 1 litre resin cartridges*, using two cartridges of the same resin at a time.
Key features of the Form 3L:
- Large format build size of 335mm x 200mm x 300mm using advanced Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) 3D printing process
- Detailed, large parts, fast with 2x engineered Light Processing Units (LPU)
- Light-touch supports, that are easy to tear away
The Form 3L has excellent connectivity via Ethernet, Wi-Fi and USB and is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. The print software, PreForm allows for management of the Form 3L within teams to monitor and manage print flow.
