Before receiving your printer, prepare a space to install and operate the Form Studio 1 printer and house the necessary accessories and consumables. Choose a location separate from any machinery or tooling that generates dust or sparks, such as wood or metal working equipment.

Reserve the following minimum dimensions for the most convenient access (W × D × H): 

• Form 1 Studio printer: 36 × 33 × 79 cm (14.2 × 13 × 31.1 in)
• Form Studio Wash+Cure: 33 × 30 × 44 cm (13 × 11.8 × 17.3 in)
• Form Wash V2: 40 × 40 × 80 cm (15.8 × 15.8 × 31.5 in)
• Form Cure V2: 38.1 × 66 × 45 cm (15 × 26 × 17.7 in)

Additional space for other post-processing tools or Formlabs-approved third-party devices
The printer requires a power source that meets the following requirements:

• 100–240 VAC
• Maximum 3 A
• 50/60 Hz
• 300 W

The Form Studio Wash+Cure requires a power source that meets the following requirements:

• 100–240 VAC
• Maximum 2 A
• 50/60 Hz
• 200 W

Ensure that an additional power outlet is available for the VOC Extractor, if you plan to use it with your Form Studio 1.

Formlabs materials require proper storage to maximize the usable lifetime. Light and temperature affect shelf life significantly. For optimal results, follow Formlabs guidelines for storing and handling resins.

Consider dedicating shelf space as storage for consumables. Resin cartridges can be stored next to each other vertically on a flat surface. Form Studio 1 resin tanks and Form Studio 1 build platforms lay flat and are stackable for efficient storage.

Aside from the contents of the printer package, you need additional supplies to post-process printed parts and to clean and maintain the printer. Prepare your workspace by purchasing them in advance:

• Isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher) and/or tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether
• Low-fiber paper towels
• Non-abrasive microfiber cloth
• Non-reactive nitrile gloves
• Optical cleaning cloths (e.g., PEC*PADs)
• Safety glasses
