What's new in Form 3+ and Form 3B+?
Software improvements in Form 3+ and Form 3B+ 3D printers increase print speed by 20-40%, provide more efficient and cleaner post-processing, and deliver a more positive printer experience.
Do you already have a Formlabs Form 3?
Do you already have a Formlabs Form 3 or Form 3B 3D printer and are interested in software enhancements that increase 3D printing speed and deliver cleaner, more accurate results?
We are pleased to announce that these new software enhancements are available to Form 3 and Form 3B 3D printer users. Update PreForm and install the new printer firmware to enjoy faster printing, simplify support removal, and unlock new features such as sleep mode and preheating.
New Build Platform 2
And that's not all!
To make post-processing easier than ever, combine the updated Form 3 or Form 3B with the new Build Platform 2 - a next-generation build platform with patented Quick Release technology for fast removal of printed parts.
Build Platform 2 provides a fast workflow, quickly and easily releasing parts from the build platform in seconds without tools and without the risk of damaging your part.
Conveniently, the new Build Platform is compatible with all small-format 3D printers from Frmlabs: Form 3+, Form 3B+, Form 3, Form 3B, and Form 2.
Form 3+ 3D printer – the new generation of polymer 3D printing
Together, these new features and products are changing the way parts are manufactured using 3D printing, allowing parts to be printed, processed, and finished in record time.
The Form 3+ and Form 3B+ 3D printers offer high printing speeds, industry-leading accuracy and reliability, and a wide range of materials.
Formlabs began shipping the new printers even before the public announcement. To make sure you have purchased a new generation Formlabs Form 3+ 3D printer, look for the plus sign in the lower left corner of the sticker on the back of the printer:
To take advantage of the improved print speeds, surface quality, and reliability offered by the Form 3+ and Form 3B+, simply download the latest version of PreForm and update your printer's firmware. After that, your printer will be identified and function as a Form 3+ or Form 3B+ respectively.
