How does automated 3D printing work on the Form 3B+?
With the Form 3B+ 3D Printer, the flexible platform Build Platform 2 with the patented Quick Release technology, and by applying the Form Auto hardware expansion, you can easily turn your SLA printer into a 24/7 production line.
Form Auto lifts the printer cover, removes the platform from the holder, and places the finished parts into a container. The platform is automatically re-installed into the printer, and the printing cycle repeats without intervention from your lab worker. The entire process is recorded by the camera built into Form Auto — allowing you to control your production at any time.
Form Auto supports cloudless printing operations. In local mode, it allows for high-volume printing without using the Internet.
Advantages of Buying the Automation Package
- Cost Savings. Buying the equipment package will be cheaper than buying the equipment and accessories separately.
- You are ready to immediately start automated 3D printing in your office, laboratory, or workshop — the Form 3B+ Automation Package includes all the necessary components for successful photopolymer 3D printing, without downtime or interruptions in 3D printing.
- Time Savings and Low Labor Costs. Evaluate the benefits of continuous automatic 3D printing! The automated printing station independently removes the printed parts from the platform and independently starts a new print. You only need to set up the print queue, fill your printer with enough photopolymer, and start the job.
- With the built-in camera and the **Fleet Control** software expansion, you can flexibly configure the print queue and remotely monitor the process from your phone or computer.
“Now when we come in the morning, there is only one large bucket of parts from multiple jobs that needs to be run through Form Wash L. We are more productive with certain jobs because the printers can finish and restart printing during non-working hours.”
