Manufacture Custom End-Use Parts and Complex Designs Without Tooling With 3D Printing
An end-use part is a good that is sold as a product, used as a sub-assembly in a product, or used as a component in a product. With 3D printing, you can create end-use parts without tooling, making it possible to create custom parts and complex designs in a cost-efficient manner.
From Mass Customization to Prosthetics, 3D Print End-Use Parts for a Wide Variety of Applications
3D printing is unleashing new possibilities and business opportunities. What used to be too complex, prohibitively expensive, or impractical to produce with traditional methods is available at no extra cost, giving full control to designers and manufacturers, and opening the door for fully customizable products to become a reality.
Leading the Future of Performance Products With Customized Manufacturing
From a local startup to a Fortune 500 company, 3D printed parts are reducing time- and resource-intensive steps in production processes and opening new business opportunities with the flexibility of cost-effective customization.
From Design to Final Product Faster Than Ever Before
Never again wait weeks for tooling and parts to arrive from a supplier. Create end-use parts in a matter of hours, right in your office or on your factory floor to save months of development time and be able to respond to customer demands faster.
Design
Design your model in CAD, or create a model based on a 3D scan of an existing model, an MRI scan, or an intraoral scan.
3D Print
Choose the right resin or powder from our expansive materials library and 3D print the part on a Formlabs SLA or SLS 3D printer.
Post-Process
After printing, clean your model using Formlabs' post-processing tools. Depending on the application, you can use additional post-processing steps like painting or polishing.
Assemble
Use the 3D printed part as a component or sub-assembly in manufacturing, or as an individual product, just as you'd use a part produced with traditional tools.

Tools to Get Started 3D Printing End-Use Parts
Formlabs' ecosystem of accessible 3D printers and high-performance materials offers solutions for a wide range of end-use applications.
Tools for End-Use Parts
Form 3
High-Performance SLA 3D Printer
The Form 3 produces parts with a high-quality surface finish and fine features, ensuring that your parts are created fast and true to design with minimal post-processing.
Use the Form 3 at various points of the product development process for a faster ROI. From 3D printing prototypes to producing molds for short-run production of those same parts, the Formlabs ecosystem is easy to integrate into any product development process.
