Highly Accurate Precision That Matches Injection Molding

Create detailed, high-resolution prints with accuracy that rivals traditional manufacturing methods.

Speed at scale. A New Era of Medical Production.

The Form 4BL is revolutionising medical 3D printing for medical professionals, delivering speeds up to four times faster than the Form 3L. Consequently, its design, which includes 13% more build volume and a 6% larger maximum part length, streamlines workflows and enhances productivity. For instance, the Form 4BL enables single-piece printing for both large anatomical models and intricate medical devices, which eliminates the need for assembly. As a result, its ability to fit more small parts in one build maximizes throughput and helps healthcare providers meet increasing patient demands.

Furthermore, the performance-engineered Form 4BL outpaces traditional large-format FDM 3D printers. To illustrate, it prints large batches of parts per build and completes most jobs in under six hours. This represents a significant improvement compared to other 3D printing technologies that often require overnight or multi-day processing. Therefore, the Form 4BL offers the ultimate solution for medical professionals seeking speed, reliability, and precision.

Revolutionising Medical 3D Printing with Faster Turnarounds.

With the Form 4BL, we’ve reimagined and re-engineered large-format 3D printing for medical applications. This advanced printer reduces print times for anatomical models and medical devices to less than a single workday. While delivering finishes that rival the quality of injection-molded parts.

Unmatched reliability. – Large Format 3D Printing for Medical Applications.

The Form 4BL has been engineered for reliability, ensuring consistent performance for high-volume medical applications. Beta testers and our in-house engineers subjected the Form 4BL to rigorous testing. Pushing the printer to its limits with hundreds of prints. Its advanced LFD Print Engine and internal systems work seamlessly to deliver fast, accurate, and dependable results.

Reliability starts at the factory, where each Form 4BL undergoes a meticulous 60-point calibration and quality control inspection. Once in use, smart sensors and advanced systems ensure every print meets the highest standards. Six integrated sensors precisely monitor and control resin temperature, resin level, print forces, and print status. High-speed conduction resin heating, paired with infrared temperature sensing. Which automatically adjusts resin to an optimal range of 25-45 °C (77-113 °F), tailored to the material.

With the Form 4BL, you can achieve higher throughput, printing larger volumes of medical applications with consistent quality and precision.
