Formlabs-approved distributors for supplies (SLA)

Formlabs SLA printers need regular maintenance to ensure full functionality. Some maintenance tasks require supplies that are not available for sale at formlabs.com but can be acquired through an external seller. In addition to maintenance, a range of tools and miscellaneous items can be purchased from external suppliers to simplify your SLA workflow.

Before maintaining your SLA printer ecosystem, check the required resources in the corresponding support article and ensure you have all required supplies at your disposal.

Notice:

Do not use swabs, pre-moistened or dry wipes, surfactants, denaturants, or any other tool, chemical, or cleaning agent to maintain Formlabs SLA printers’ optical components unless they are explicitly recommended by Formlabs or a certified service provider. Maintaining your SLA printer with unapproved supplies may damage the machine.

Tip:
