Description and capabilities of the components
Professional SLA 3D Printer for a Modern STEM Laboratory
Formlabs Form 4 with a working area of 200 × 125 × 210 mm allows students to work with the same photopolymer 3D printing technology used by engineers, designers, architects, dentists, research laboratories, and manufacturing enterprises worldwide. The high printing accuracy opens up the possibility of manufacturing parts with complex geometry, moving mechanisms, laboratory equipment, anatomical models, architectural models, and functional prototypes that are almost impossible to obtain on regular FDM printers. This allows students to become familiar with professional digital manufacturing technologies and develop skills necessary for future engineers.
Full Cycle of Digital Production Without Additional Equipment
The main advantage of the Complete Package is that it covers all stages of creating a finished product. Students independently go through the path from a digital idea to a physical result: they create a 3D model, analyze the design, prepare it for printing in the PreForm software, print, clean, and cure the finished part. This production cycle is used in modern engineering companies, so students gain practical experience working with a digital factory, not just learning to use a 3D printer.
Automated Post-Processing — More Time for Learning
Form Wash and Form Cure automate the most labor-intensive stages of working with photopolymer printing. Automatic cleaning of models from resin residues and controlled final curing ensure stable product quality regardless of user experience. For an educational institution, this means more practical work during classes, less time on routine operations, and the ability to work with large groups of students simultaneously without losing the quality of finished models.
More Comfortable Learning Environment Thanks to Modern Washing Solution
For cleaning photopolymer models, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is traditionally used, which has a sharp characteristic odor, evaporates quickly, and is a flammable liquid. For a STEM laboratory, a more comfortable solution is the Formlabs Resin Washing Solution—a specialized washing solution that has a significantly weaker odor, provides effective model cleaning, and allows for safer conditions for daily work of students and teachers. Moreover, it can maintain cleaning efficiency longer, reducing equipment operating costs and simplifying laboratory maintenance.
Safe Equipment for Regular Student Use
The kit is designed for intensive use in an educational environment. The closed printer body minimizes contact with the working chamber during printing, the automatic resin handling system simplifies equipment preparation, and the flexible Build Platform Flex allows for quick and safe removal of finished models without using metal spatulas. This makes the learning process more comfortable for both students and teachers and reduces the time needed to prepare the equipment for the next print.
Practical Learning for Various Subjects
One kit allows for the implementation of dozens of interdisciplinary STEM projects. In physics classes, students can print gears, mechanical transmissions, pendulums, and demonstration models. In mathematics, they can print geometric bodies, complex spatial surfaces, and mathematical constructions. In biology, anatomical models of organs, bones, cells, and molecules. In technology classes, device cases, laboratory equipment, functional prototypes, and their own inventions. The kit is also great for robotics, allowing for the manufacture of mounts, gearboxes, grippers, cases for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, sensors, and other electronic modules.
Development of Skills Needed in the Modern World
Working on their own projects, students learn to analyze technical tasks, create and improve designs, test different solutions, and find optimal ways to implement them. This approach develops critical thinking, spatial imagination, project management skills, teamwork, and presentation of their own ideas. These are the competencies defined as key in STEM education and highly valued by modern employers.
Preparation for the Professions of the Future
The complete Formlabs Form 4 set introduces students to technologies that are already used today in mechanical engineering, industrial design, medicine, dentistry, architecture, scientific research, electronics, automation, and the aerospace industry. Working with the professional Formlabs ecosystem helps students consciously choose technical specialties, better prepare for admission to higher education institutions, and gain practical experience with Industry 4.0 technologies while still in school.
Professional PreForm Software
The PreForm software automates model preparation for printing, helps correctly orient parts, generates supports, and optimizes printing parameters. Students become familiar with professional digital manufacturing tools, and teachers receive a simple and understandable tool for preparing practical lessons and implementing complex educational projects.
Wide Range of Materials for Various Educational Tasks
One of the important advantages of the Formlabs ecosystem is the wide range of photopolymer materials for different areas of study. Depending on the subject matter, students can work with standard resins for rapid prototyping, high-precision materials for small parts, strong engineering resins, elastic or heat-resistant materials. This allows using the same printer for completely different STEM projects.
The 3DDevice catalog features a wide range of original Formlabs resins, making it easy to select materials for educational, engineering, design, or research projects and ensure continuous operation of the STEM laboratory throughout the academic year.
Ready STEM Solution for Your Institution
The STEM Kit SLA 3D Printing Formlabs Form 4 Complete Package is a comprehensive solution for creating a modern STEM laboratory, digital FabLab workshop, or NUS technology classroom. One kit allows for practical lessons in technology, physics, mathematics, biology, computer science, robotics, mechatronics, and interdisciplinary integrated STEM courses. Students go through the full path from idea to finished product, work on real engineering tasks, prepare their own startup prototypes, participate in STEM hackathons, MAN competitions, and develop competencies necessary for a successful career in high-tech industries.
