Form 3BL
Large Medical Devices and Anatomical Replicas at Full Scale
3D print adult patient-specific anatomy at 1:1 scale or large medical devices in one build with the Form 3BL, a large-format 3D printer developed for medical professionals. This 3D printer is compatible with the majority of our SLA materials library, including biocompatible, sterilizable materials.
Form 3BL is now succeeded by Form 4BL, our next-generation medical 3D printer, which improves upon its foundation in every possible way.
Speed That Scales
Form 4BL is powered by our Low Force Display™ (LFD) Print Engine, setting the new industry standard for blazing-fast speed, unmatched reliability and accuracy, and the widest range of performance 3D printing materials. Complete large prints the size of the entire build volume in under 6 hours and solve big problems with big parts.
Big Parts, Big Ideas
With a large build volume of 33.5 × 20 × 30 cm (13.2 × 7.9 × 11.8 in),
you can print full-scale bulky prototypes or detailed models.
