Ooh interesting. We run the Form 3B at work for biocompatible prints used in maxillofacial surgery. I have nothing but great words about Formlabs, especially their fantastic support
Try Figure 4 Plattform from 3D Systems, it is much more advanced. Especially when it comes to material selection and speed. Of course it is a DLP but has 130mm per hour printspeed.
@@firebloomstudios140 it's 3D Systems the tanks/trays are 4x more expensive ($600ish compared to $149) than the Form 3's it requires manual pour of resin the machine costs $21,900 which is absolutely ridiculous for it's tiny 124.8mm x 70.2mm platform.
@@owencoyne6223 don’t know where you get your information from but I can tell you it is absolutely wrong. Pricing you quote is wrong. Materials start at 250 bucks and productivity is by far higher than the Formlabs machines. Currently I am exchanging a lot Formlabs printers for Figure 4‘s cause of productivity and materials selection which is outstanding at 3DS. And btw. Figure 4 is also available as Modular version with automatic material dispense and 385mm in Z-Axis . But it’s not comparable to the Formlabs cause it’s aiming for mass production.
I'm excited to see the details that this machine can print. I'm doing development of machine tools that require small internal channels to be printed in SLA and my MSLA Anycubic struggles when those internal channels get down to 1mm or smaller.
I have the form3+ at work. The speed of the print varies with the material loaded. With draft it's super fast 4x and with tough and flex slower. The layer height is also set by the material and not equal. Furthermore you should turn on the beta print profile that cuts some prints in half (time). You also missed the idea of loading the material easier and the smart software with preform. So I feel you fell short of what this machine can do. Also, where is the wash and cure station. We love ours and as an engineering company it fits perfect.
While it IS wild to see printers at 2-10x the cost with barely 10-20% better results overall, I am always glad to see more and more printers like this popping up - as more of them hit the market, competition goes up, and costs will come back down into the range that actual makers can afford to pay for them (as opposed to medium/large businesses and corporations)
I'm sorry to say this but this video left me feeling like this was just a preview for the "real video" churned out to provide some meat for the skeleton that was the DataCamp sponsorship. I do realize that you've got to make money for this to work but I feel like the ad/content ratio has been going down recently.
We've recently installed a Form 3L at work. There are some downsides like you said; it isn't very fast, and the material is expensive. Really expensive. Pretty much 50% of customer jobs won't be financially viable on it, killed by cost of resin. But for the other 50%, we've found we get quite good results, and cutting down on expensive labour and failed prints is a major win. I can be pretty confident in quoting with it as most jobs are reasonably trouble free, and while the markup might be lower, rework and labour expenses are down too.
I have the 3B printer in my lab at work. I decided on it because while resins are more expensive compared to other printers in its class they aren’t to bad and they have a lot depending on the application. True engineering resins can be a delight. So far I haven’t had a print failure which is nothing like my photon S at home. I will say the slowness of printing surprised me, but it’s not horrific. Prints look amazing and with tweaking come out super consistent batch to batch. For home I don’t think it’s worth it. For work since messing with stuff and and ease of use save time and money, I love it. Normal resins are 150 per liter.
Speaking as someone who bought all high end premium equipment and never ever got it to work, I say.. tred carefully.. very carefully.. and probably.. avoid completely.
Exactly, this is the biggest scam, the forums tell the truth. Everything is overpriced and it tanks your projects and kills your moral. Should be a class action lawsuit filed.
@@wholeness Yeah, ditto on killing your moral and enthusiasm. Let me rather bitter and emotionally damaged. It's hard to explain. Like saving up all your life for a new car, dreaming about it, and then when you finally buy one, a week later it slings a rod and the engine is destroyed. Someone tells you, well, just rebuild the engine.. but the engineis front wheel drive and it's packed int here like sardines and complex as phvvvkkk... it's not going to happen. Instead of the realization of a dream, all you have is a very expensive brick. You bought the dream of freedom driving in the countryside on holidays with the wind in your hair, but all you got was a reminder parked dead in your back yard of your foolishness. If you're wondering why I used the car as an example, it's because I have just such a car so it readily comes to mind as my go to example of the dissonance between the promise that is sold, and what you really end up, and the heartbreak that follows. It will mess you up. That's what it feels like. Products that promise something, but never deliver on it. Some you buy, you get nothing but a box of parts in the mail or a never ending headache.
The speed improvement also applies to the form3 since it's mostly a software update (The surface finish is better on the 3+ because of the new LPU, but the speed improvement is transferred)
Formlabs is still supporting the Form 2. If you have an issue with the machine, get in touch with services and they'll help. The thing that might have happened is that coincidentally your Pro Service Plan ran out at the same time so you don't get extra speedy replies etc. anymore, but regular customer service is still helping out with Form 2
I've used a formlabs 3 for a while now and it's a very nice printer. Once it starts I know it's going to finish. The only error I have had in it is the touch screen goes bad and needs power cycled to get it to work again. Not sure if it's a software or hardware bug tho.
I've got a form 3 that runs their high performance resins (10k & 4000 mostly). The resins AND the vat really get you cost wise. The way I run it the life of the vat accounts for 80$ everytime I use up 300$ of 10K resin. Amazing material but the costs are extremely high for resin.
Hey Thomas, super interesting to see what you will think about it. We got a Form 1+, Form 2 and Form 3 at work, also some Prusas and Mars and we found out a lot of pros and cons about all of them. Also have some good testsprints to compare them. Short overview: repeadability: Form 2 and 3 +-70um Mars 1 +-50um Prusa MK3s with PLA +-22um Min Hole: Form 2&3 0,9mm Mars 1 0,7mm MK3s 0,2mm And other stuff. Please also mention the resin differences of SLA Formlabs resins to MSLA resins! You can use the resins of Formlabs in the Mars but they will take up to 60s exposure time per layer! So a 4h Formlabs print is a 36h Mars 1 print. Also the resins itself are completly different and Formlabs one don‘t smell. Just hit me up for more information :-) Greetings from SW Germany
I used several Form2 printers for jears now and printed thousands of pieces. The biggest problem with a Galvo-SLA is that the optical unit is getting out of alignment or dirty. Being able to exchange the whole unit would be the only benefit of a Form3 (don't know if even done). The printing of fine features was never challenging because of cohesion, either of cross-hardening: later layers will cure resin on the already printed parts. The advantage could be fine tubes, where the part usually sucke them selves to the bed/film/tank. Using a "paper-scanner" method instead of a "laser-show" method reduces the resolution / accuracy of curved features. The user experience is great for home-user, but you are stuck with a limited technology.
Will you try one of the flexible resins they offer? I have a demo print that was made with their 50A resin, the print quality and the flexibility is just amazing
Flex 50a has a caveat....it can't handle islands. So it might not be the right material if no matter how you orient the part it still ha multiple s islands. They cover this issue in their product page. I use flex 80a almost daily and is quite neat stuff. It still carries good detail and is surprisingly resistant to tearing. Your support touch size will have to be a bit larger than a typical Grey resin
Not sure you are correct about it tracing the outlines. It looks more likely to be a single line raster scan ??? If it moved the head it'd be sqeezing and peeling as it tracked so not a good idea
That's the point of the "low force stereolithography" approach - the print is continuously peeled from the separator film instead of being ripped off in one go. It does do raser scanning for the infill, but it wouldn't be able to get smooth contours without tracing them.
@@MadeWithLayers Mine indeed never traces the outline, it scans the layer left to right. I am printing tall clear resin parts at the moment, so the movements of the laser dot is pretty visible at the moment. Or would this be part of the experimental beta profiles preform offers (that i never use)...
I saw your Twitter post. If you can't edit supports you can always generate supports in another slicer and export the stl. Obviously not a great solution but it's something
WARNING after $10K plus in Formlabs products the reliability is terrible. You can't sue these companies or they would have lawsuits. I highly advise looking at the forums before you buy, you have been warned.

First off thank you for this review! I’m replacing my Elegoo Saturn with this printer, mainly because of resin temperature control. Tough resin is usually extremely viscous and consequently is prone to failure. Even after installing a heater it’s nearly impossible to control temp precisely. This trial and error process has a real cost associated with it, and I’m tired of that dance.
I have Elegoo Mars 2 Pro with a heater and PID controller for it with temperature prob in the resin vat. I print most of my prints with tough engineering resins and never had any issues. I doubt that temperature is the only reason you want to upgrade, but if it is you can try buying a PID controller and see if it helps.
@@armLocalhost what engineering resins are you using? I am having the same printer and the toughest stuff I used until now is various Abs like + 10 -15% flex100 resin

Wouldnt it still be relatively similar? If someonething falls off the build plate, then you have to actually tweak the settings. Your exposure times would have to be crazy off for that to happen. Warping would probably also happen if you have messed up exposure times and way too fast lift speeds. Lowering the whole vat seems like alot of bad problems could occur.
