-The FormLabs printers are liquid resin stereolithographic 3D printers capable of producing high resolution accurate models out of a variety of materials. Liquid resin printers use a bath of reactive resin which is precisely cured using specific wavelengths of light. This printer is particularly well suited for thin high aspect ratio features and models requiring great surface accuracy. +The FormLabs printers are liquid resin stereolithographic 3D printers capable of producing high resolution accurate models out of a variety of materials.

 Based on the material and application, some prints will benefit from post process UV curing to strengthen and harden the finished part. See part curing documentation in UV FormCure reference documentation.  Based on the material and application, some prints will benefit from post process UV curing to strengthen and harden the finished part.

-Both the resin cartridges and build platforms are cross compatible with both the Form 2 as well as the newer Form 3 3D printers however the build tanks are not interchangeable. Types of resins are distributed between the Form 2 and Form 3 based on frequency used as well as which benefit from the low force SLA process employed by the Form 3 and should not be swapped without consultation with the staff.+Both the resin cartridges and build platforms are cross compatible with both the Form 2 as well as the newer Form 3 3D printershoweverthe build tanks are not interchangeable.
