We have carefully watched the 3D printing market and evaluated the various options available to clinicians and laboratories. Our criteria for selection has always been simple: impressive accuracy, reliable performance, suitability for a range of dental applications and a price point to make 3D printing affordable for everyone. We are proud to present the Formlabs Form3 and Form3B printers, a natural next step for clinicians and labs owners embracing digital workflows.
A third generation family of printers with a polished performance, the Form3 and Form3B produce accurate and detailed prints perfect for the dental clinic or laboratory. The capability of the Form3B to print with biocompatible materials of opens up a whole new range of applications from splints and surgical guides to provisional crowns and dentures.
Formlabs 3D printers utilise SLA technology facilitating incredible detail at 50 micron layer thickness and where faster turnaround is required, certain resin options can allow a great layer thickness offering faster build times with minimal compromise in model detail.
For many, a Formlabs 3D printer has been their first step into 3D printing. Many users now have increased their printing capacity by incorporating multiple printers. Not only does this offer increased capacity, it offers a backup option by not relying on just one larger machine and the flexibility to run small prints or full plate builds.
The Form 3L is the large format 3D printer that raises the bar for dependable high-production 3D printing in a dental setting, designed to work day and night with minimal intervention. A massive build platform measuring 23.5cm x 20cm offers a build area that is 320% greater than the Form 3/3B along with dual resin cartridges and dual print units, facilitates large and speedy print runs. The Form 3BL offers the same biocompatible printing capability as the Form3B with the added capacity benefits of the Form3L.
A finished part that meets the defined specifications in terms of accuracy, strength, durability and biocompatibility is achieved through correct post processing. Form Wash and Form Cure are two finishing products that help ensure parts are washed thoroughly and cured correctly every time.
Formlabs deliver a range of dental specific materials for use with the Form3B which can be used to print a wide range of dental and orthodontic applications including biocompatible materials enabling direct printing of appliances that can be used in the patient’s mouth.
