    Finely detailed parts

    Alpha Model Resin

    Alpha Model Resin is a supremely detailed resin with a deep, fully matte, neutral surface that captures every detail, down to the finest crevices and textures.

    Create detailed scale models, life-like sculptures, and richly textured miniatures with thin features that flex instead of snapping, so finished models survive painting, transport, and drops.

    The Alpha Resin Family uses low-odor components and post-processed parts meet safety requirements for long-term skin contact. Alpha Resins are the first 3D printing materials certified for UL GREENGUARD Gold, when printed on Form Studio 1 and using VOC Extractor.

    Alpha Model Resin is only supported on the Form Studio 1.

    Elastomeric, tear-resistant

    Flexible 80A Resin V2

    Flexible 80A Resin V2 is a resilient 3D printing elastomer that rivals the look, feel, and function of 80A cast urethanes, TPUs, and hard rubbers. 

    Parts printed in Flexible 80A Resin V2 snap back into place and withstand repeated bending, tension, and compression. Create tear-resistant functional prototypes and end use parts, protect sensitive components with soft inserts and fixtures, or design refined padding and grips with tack-free surfaces and a matte, black finish.

    Flexible 80A Resin V2 is a new material formulation that leverages the technology of Form 4 Series printers to deliver 2x higher tear strength, 2x higher elongation at break, 4x higher rebound, and improved aesthetics and aging compared to the previous version.

    Form Studio 1 Resin Tank

    Form Studio 1 Resin Tank is a strong, flexible tank built for fast print speeds and fine feature resolution. Every tank includes a reusable lid, making it easy to stack tanks and store resin outside of the machine. With a separate tank for each resin color or type, switching materials is as easy as sliding in a new tank.

    This tank is optimized for chemical compatibility with Alpha Resins, Flexible 80A Resin V2, and True Cast Resin. It is not compatible with Tough 1500 Resin or materials needing to utilize Open Material Mode. For those materials, use the Form Studio 1 Resin Tank Pro.

    Resin Tanks are built to last and deliver consistent performance for at least 75,000 layers of printing — approximately 190 prints using average-height model (39 mm tall), any resin, and 100 µm layer height.

    Professional Washing Unit

    Form Wash V2

    All SLA 3D printed parts require washing to remove residual resin. Form Wash automatically cleans printed parts thoroughly and efficiently with IPA or alternative solvents.

    Keep parts directly on the Build Platform as you transition them from the printer to Form Wash, or remove parts and place them in the wash basket. Parts are precisely and thoroughly agitated in solvent with an impeller, getting every nook and cranny perfectly clean, automatically for the appropriate time. When washing completes, Form Wash automatically raises parts out of the solvent so they can air dry, avoiding over-soaked, warped prints.

    Form Wash is compatible with all Formlabs desktop SLA 3D printers.

Popular uses include tabletop miniatures and figurines, cosplay props, product design prototypes, art and sculpture, custom gifts, and small-batch parts for side businesses.

The Form Studio 1 is an MSLA printer built on Low Force Display (LFD) technology. Its backlight unit uses 28 high-powered LEDs and collimating lenses to cure resin quickly and evenly across the entire build platform.

Most prints finish in under 2 hours (based on the 80th percentile print height of 53 mm at 100 µm layer height), and print time stays the same whether you print one part or a full build platform. With Alpha Fast Resin, the Form Studio 1 prints at up to 130 mm/hour.

XY dimensional tolerances are ±0.5% for 1–30 mm features, ±0.2% for 31–80 mm features, and ±0.03% for 81–150 mm features, with a lower limit of ±0.08 mm. A 35 µm pixel size and pre-tuned anti-aliasing deliver sharp detail, smooth surfaces, and parts that fit together as designed.

In internal testing, the Form Studio 1 has shown print success comparable to Form 4, which achieved a 98.7% print success rate in independent testing. Full reliability testing for the Form Studio 1 is underway.

The system is designed to be highly intuitive. Most users can learn the full printing workflow in about 10 minutes.

PreForm, Formlabs’ free print preparation software, automatically orients models, generates supports, and slices your files, so you can optimize your layout and send jobs straight to the printer.

Form Studio 1 is not compatible with third-party slicers or print preparation software.

The Form Studio 1 supports six Alpha Resins developed specifically for it: Alpha Grey, Alpha White, Alpha Black, Alpha Clear, Alpha Fast, and Alpha Model. It also supports Tough 1500 Resin, Flexible 80A Resin, and True Cast Resin. Every supported material comes with validated print settings tested on the Form Studio 1, so you get reliable results without calibration or trial and error.

Most other Formlabs resins are also compatible. These dispense automatically from the cartridge, but you'll need to tune your own settings and use the Form Studio 1 Resin Tank Pro. Print performance may be lower, and mechanical properties may differ from published values.

You can also print third-party 405 nm resins using Open Material Mode. Automatic dispensing is disabled in this mode, so you'll pour resin manually and tune your own settings.

The Form Studio 1 Resin Tank uses a film engineered for Alpha Resins, which gives faster prints and a better finish on supported surfaces. Some materials, including Tough 1500 Resin V2 and most third-party resins, contain ingredients that damage this film, so they require the Form Studio 1 Resin Tank Pro.

Never print these materials in the Form Studio 1 Resin Tank. The film can degrade quickly and leak resin, which can damage your printer and leave a mess to clean up.

Resin tanks are consumables, and their lifespan depends mainly on the number of layers printed and accumulated wear. With proper maintenance and Formlabs materials, Form Studio 1 resin tanks are designed to last more than 75,000 layers. The tank film can’t be replaced on either the Form Studio 1 Resin Tank or the Resin Tank Pro.

After printing, wash parts in IPA or Formlabs Resin Washing Solution to remove uncured resin, then UV-cure them to reach final mechanical properties. Form Studio Wash+Cure, or Form Wash and Form Cure, automate both steps.

Yes. A built-in camera lets you watch active prints, view time-lapses, and review your print history from the Form Mobile app or Formlabs Dashboard.

Yes, in three ways: cover it with the included camera cap (in the accessories box or print your own from the preloaded print jobs), turn it off in the printer settings (also shown during onboarding), or unplug the camera cable to disconnect it completely. The camera and time-lapse are separate settings, so you can turn off time-lapse while keeping the camera on.
