What is the lifespan or average laser lifetime of a Formlabs printer?

Formlabs build the tools that allow anyone to bring their ideas to life. To get there, we designed tests that pushed every major component in our 3D printers to its physical limit. Through accelerated lifetime testing—thousands or millions of cycles of machine parts sliding, turning, and peeling—we gain confidence that our machines can meet your needs for years to come. We stand behind printers like the Form 4 with the availability of a five-year service plan, so you can plan around that timeframe with confidence as well. Based on what we see in the field, our printers, like the Form 2, are running strong well beyond that window.
