Formlabs Launches $699 Resin 3D Printer for Home Use
Formlabs has launched the Form Studio 1, a resin-based 3D printer aimed at consumers.
It costs $699, making it the company’s most affordable printer to date.
Resin printers use light to harden liquid resin into solid plastic, but resin can be unsafe to touch and its fumes can be harmful.
Formlabs says its branded Alpha resins have UL Greenguard Gold certification for low emissions and give off little odor.
A separate wash-and-cure unit costs about $200 and helps clean and harden finished prints.
The printer is now available to order, and Formlabs says it can also use third-party resins, though it does not recommend some potentially toxic options.
Formlabs announced the Form Studio 1, a consumer-focused resin 3D printer priced at $699.
The company says its printer and branded resins are designed to make resin printing more suitable for home use, with low emissions and little odor.
The Studio 1 uses stereolithography resin and can print with Formlabs-branded or third-party resins.
It is Formlabs’ first consumer-oriented printer and its most affordable model to date.
A separate Wash+Cure unit costs $199, while CNET reports a $180 VOC extractor accessory.
