FormLabs Form3+ review

FormLabs Form3+.

The FormLabs Form3+ is a distinctive-looking machine with a weighty build and refined quality that instantly highlights this as a high-quality machine. Yet, while the price might put it out of reach for most home users if you're serious about finding the best 3D printers out there - and demand absolute quality, then the Form3+ should be the printer you aim for. However, the core audience is businesses looking for a solution for producing high-quality prototypes or production parts. The quality of the print ensures accuracy and fine detail, while the range of materials offers a greater range of long-term applications for the prints that you produce.

FormLabs has also looked at the entire resin print process, as there's only an escape from the mess that resin can make if you follow a set procedure. Here, FormLabs has first made a machine that pretty much handles the full flow of resin into the machine through the print process so that once the resin tank is installed, the only time you need to get your hands dirty is when you remove the print, ready for cleaning and curing. Even here, at the most time-consuming part of the process, FormLabs has you covered with the cleaning and automated wash and cure system that all makes the process nice and easy and as clean as possible.
