What is Formlabs?
Formlabs is an American 3D printer manufacturer headquartered in Somerville, Massachusetts, founded in 2011. The Form series uses stereolithography (SLA) with Low Force Display technology for fast, precise resin printing, led by the Form 4 and larger format Form 4L, plus biocompatible Form 4B and Form 4BL models for dental and medical work. The Fuse series uses selective laser sintering (SLS) to print nylon powders into functional, support-free parts.
Formlabs printers use PreForm, a free slicer for layout, orientation, and support generation, and connect to Dashboard, a free cloud based tool for remote monitoring, fleet management, and notifications, backed by a documented web API. Formlabs offers more than 40 materials, including engineering, dental, and biocompatible resins. Pricing is one-time hardware purchase, starting around $2,600 for the Form 4 and reaching well past $80,000 for the industrial Fuse X1.
