Form 4
Blazing Speed Meets Industrial Production
Form 4 is a blazing fast masked SLA 3D printer powered by Low Force Display™ Print Engine that combines an industry-leading materials library with a reliable, accurate print engine.
Form 4 and its biocompatible version, Form 4B, represent the next evolution in stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing technology, built upon years of groundbreaking hardware, software, and materials science innovations.
Blazing Fast – Most prints in under 2 hours
The Form 4 isn’t just quick—it’s revolutionary. Experience most prints in under two hours, thanks to the innovative Low Force Display™ Print Engine.
This cutting-edge technology harnesses the power of ultra-high intensity LEDs combined with collimating lenses and optical filters to deliver even repeatable light across the whole build area. A robust, patented liquid crystal display selectively cures each resin layer rapidly, delivering consistent quality irrespective of the part size or quantity.
Versatile – Industry-leading materials for any problem
Tap into the potential of Formlabs’ industry-leading materials library, now even better with reduced plastic waste and lower costs. Formlabs introduces newly formulated materials boasting superior mechanical and thermal properties. With over 20 resins ranging from the highly flexible Silicone 40A to the ultra-rigid and heat-resistant Rigid 10K, the Form 4 is equipped for any challenge. Whether you’re testing functional parts in engineering-grade materials, printing ESD jigs for electronics manufacturing, or crafting flame-retardant end-use parts, Form 4 has the perfect resin for your needs.
