Form 3L

Form 3L

by
Formlabs

The Form 3L is a large-format stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer using Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) technology with dual Light Processing Units for high-precision, industrial-quality parts. It features a generous build volume of 335 x 200 x 300 mm, automatic resin dispensing from dual cartridges, and consistent XY resolution of 25 microns across the platform. Ideal for professionals needing reliable large-scale prototyping and production with smooth surface finishes resembling injection-molded parts.

Overview

The Form 3L transformed our prototyping workflow with its massive build volume, allowing us to print full-scale models in one go instead of assembling smaller pieces. Setup was straightforward with the touchscreen interface, and the automatic resin system kept prints running without interruptions.

Print quality is outstanding—parts come out smooth and precise, rivaling injection molding. While slower than FDM printers, the reliability and detail make it worth it for professional work, especially with engineering resins.
