Form 2 Formlabs' most advanced desktop stereolithographic printer, the Form 2, is capable of handling professional-grade jobs and ideal for engineers and designers. It uses standard photopolymer resins.
What's new? The printer and touch-screen interface. An upgrade over Formlabs' earlier models, the Form 1 and Form 1+, the bigger Form 2 has a number of new features. The printer, which has a build volume of about 6 inches by 6 inches by 7 inches, features a new slide peel mechanism and heated resin tank. In addition, it allows users to send print jobs over Wi-Fi, reprint previous jobs and receive notifications via their phones when a job is complete. A resin wiper, which removes particulates from the build area, has been designed to improve part consistency.
Benefits Big prints, reliability and high-resolution at a cost-competitive price. In addition, the $3,499 printer is easy to set up and use, and can produce details as small as 25 microns.
