High quality, better precision 3d printing at a fraction of
the cost, that is what the guys at Formlabs are talking about when talking
about their 3d Printer- Form 1. 3d printing and fabrication has been there for
a while but it has been difficult for the printers to go commercial for
ordinary consumers. The options available have been quite expensive with prices
ranging in the tens of thousands of dollars but not for long. The Form 1 printer is positioned to deliver
high resolution models on a considerate price tag.
Form 1 workability and inclusions
The printer uses Stereo lithography (SL) instead of FDM
(less accurate, low resolution) as used in the low end printers. The printer works
by drawing on liquid plastic resin using laser. The plastic resin then hardens
when exposed to light. The entire process is quite simple with minimal noise.
That is not all; the Form 1 comes with highly robust and
simplified software that does enough to give you plenty of time to concentrate
on designing. Highlights of the software include its ability to print support
structures easily removable after printing. This is a feature targeting complex
designs with extra characterJ.
The Form 1 3D printer includes the Form Finish kit for post
printing processes that helps users in organizing the workspace and cleaning
their models after printing.
Formlabs has put in the time, work and passion to deliver
high quality and cost effective 3D printing solutions through the Form 1
project. Let us all step into the 3D revolution with Form 1!
