Form X is a line of products to get innovative manufacturing processes into the hands of experts that want to use powerful manufacturing technologies with the help of 3D printing.

Form X products are not as “plug and play” as some of our other products, but they push the boundaries of what’s possible with 3D Printing. 

Pushing the Boundries of Materials and Manufacturing

Materials within the Form X family feature novel chemistries and multi-step workflows to transcend the existing limitations of 3D printing materials to create final parts in extremely robust polymers—or even sintered technical ceramics.

Form X materials are not as "plug and play" as some of our other products and require equipment not provided by Formlabs. These products are intended for experts and are not suitable for users that either do not have experience or are not willing to invest significant time and effort learning the material workflow.

Polyurethane Workflow

Polyurethane Resins react with ambient humidity and have a limited pot life. When printing in a dry cabinet this pot life is 1-2 weeks. Polyurethane resins also require PGDA wash solvent, blowing off with compessed air, and a several day humidity cure.

Ceramic Workflow

Alumina 4N requires a special wash solution provided by Formlabs and one day of drying after being blown off with compressed air. The dried green parts are 100 hour debinding cycle and a 50 hour sintering cycle in an oven that is capable of at least 1500 °C.
