Step 1

Design and Iterate

Leverage Formlabs’ extensive range of materials and the same tools that you’ll use for production to iterate and improve your designs each day. Forget about the design restrictions of traditional processes—custom parts and complex designs can be produced with 3D printing in a cost-efficient manner.

Step 2

Manufacture

Move to production by relying on the repeatability and consistency of the Formlabs SLA and SLS 3D printers. Produce end-use parts directly with 3D printing, use 3D printed rapid tooling with your traditional manufacturing methods, and shock-proof your supply chain by printing manufacturing aids and repair parts in-house.

Step 3

Deliver to Market Faster Than the Competition

Complete your workflow with Formlabs post-processing solutions, use the 3D printed part as a component or sub-assembly in manufacturing, and beat your competition to market by streamlining operations.

Step 4

Scale Up and Be Agile

Scale up as the demand grows without excessive equipment costs, diversify your operations, and answer to the market and your customers faster than your competition without needing to invest in costly tooling changes.

Reduce Costs and Improve Stability by Bringing 3D Printing In-House

Prepare for the unexpected and minimize downtime with on-demand repair and replacement parts, protecting your investment in expensive industrial manufacturing equipment.
