LFS™ – Low Force Stereolithography

To further improve the print quality and reliability of the Formlabs Form 2, Low Force Stereolithography (LFS)™ was developed. This new technology from Formlabs, which has been incorporated into the Formlabs Form 3+, uses a flexible tank and linear illumination to achieve this.

Pinpoint precision

The Light Processing Unit (LPU), specially designed for the Form 3+, consists of a complex array of lenses and mirrors. This enables high-precision, repeatable print products.

Sharp laser beam

In order to obtain a sharp laser beam, the laser is directed through a spatial filter.

Reliable printing process

In order to achieve uniform quality across the entire build platform, a parabolic mirror was installed to ensure that the laser beam hits the build platform or print product vertically.

Increased printing speed

The high-frequency galvanometer built into the Formlabs Form 3+ enables maximum precision at increased speed.

Printing without interruption

The Formlabs Form 3+ controls the printing process without interruption. This allows you to concentrate on your core business. The built-in sensors ensure perfect conditions during the printing process. You are also informed about the status of your device.

Closed-loop calibration

Optical sensors constantly monitor and correct the printing process and can even detect dust.

Simple material management

Thanks to the cartridge system, you can easily switch between different print materials in just a few minutes.

Interchangeable components

Various elements of the printer such as the light process unit, the resin tank and the optics window can be replaced. You can carry out the replacement yourself, eliminating the downtime for repair shipments.
