FAQ

Industrial 3D printers create three-dimensional parts from CAD models by successively adding material layer by layer until a physical part is created. Depending on the technology, the printer builds parts by solidifying resin or sintering powder.

SLA printers use resin to produce highly detailed parts with smooth surface finishes, making them ideal for rapid prototyping, tooling, and model making. SLS printers use powder-based materials to create durable, functional prototypes and end-use parts with complete design freedom and no support structures required. Explore our technology comparison overview or read our in-depth guide for a detailed comparison of 3D printing technologies.

Formlabs industrial printers range from $2,625 for the Form 4 resin printer to $84,999 and up for the Fuse X1 SLS system.

Industrial 3D printers support a wide range of applications, including rapid prototyping, rapid tooling, manufacturing aids, end-use part production, and high-resolution model making.

Formlabs printers are used across engineering, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, dental, medical, education, entertainment, jewelry, and audiology industries.

Most industrial 3D printers can produce parts within a few hours. MSLA printers like the Form 4 offer the shortest time to part, while SLS printers like the Fuse X1 achieve the highest throughput through efficient part packing.

Yes, Formlabs offers Open Material Mode, an optional one-time lifetime license per printer that unlocks the ability to use any third-party materials alongside Formlabs certified materials.

You can purchase directly through the Formlabs online store, via the Formlabs sales team, or through a worldwide partner network.
