Form 3L
A Large Format 3D Printer Compact Enough for the Office and Robust Enough for the Factory Floor
Take control of large-scale part production, increase your throughput, and bring your biggest ideas to life with the Form 3L, a cost-effective large format 3D printer that doesn’t compromise on the details.
Big Parts, Big Throughput
With a large build volume of 33.5 × 20 × 30 cm (13.2 × 7.9 × 11.8 in),
you can print one large model or many small parts in a single job.
Stop outsourcing large-scale prints.
Work faster with a large format 3D printer that’s versatile enough to bring large scale fabrication in-house.
Life-sized prints for larger-than-life ideas.
The Form 3L is large enough to print human-scale models, like a prototype of a helmet that’s ready to try on.
Perfectionism that scales.
Two precision Light Processing Units inside the printer achieve consistent accuracy and detail across the entire build platform.

Intuitive
Intuitive and efficient
No specialized technicians required. The Form 3L offers automatic resin dispensing, simple print preparation software, and a thoughtfully designed interface.
High-resolution touchscreen interface:
A 5.5” interactive full-color display minimizes error and eliminates the need for constant monitoring.
Automated print setup:
Tested over millions of prints, our free print preparation software, PreForm, automatically suggests optimal orientation, supports, and layout, with the ability to manually refine as needed.
Continuously evolving:
We believe the best products grow better over time, and we’re committed to continually evolving our hardware through software improvements.
Nonstop Printing
Print around the clock
Whether you’re packing the build volume for batch production or printing bulky parts, the Form 3L maintains ideal print conditions for nonstop throughput, with minimal supervision.
Cloud monitoring:
Remotely monitor and manage your fleet of printers with the online Dashboard.
Fast-printing material:
Draft Resin balances detail and speed to save time on bulky prototypes and enable quick iteration.
In-field repairs:
The Light Processing Units, rollers, optics window, and other components can be replaced in-house to ensure 24/7 uptime.
Quality
Incredible part quality
Stop sacrificing on quality for large-format prints. The Form 3L provides the smooth surface finish and fine detail that stereolithography 3D printing is known for.
XY Resolution
Layer Thickness*
* Available layer thickness settings vary by material. Visit our material settings roadmap for more details.
Smooth surface finish:
Models printed on the Form 3L resemble polished injection-molded for realistic looks-like prototyping and consumer-ready end-use part production.
Consistent precision:
A system of lasers and mirrors ensures uniform print quality, for an XY resolution of 25 microns across the entire build platform.
High translucency:
With precise layer registration and smooth surface finish, translucent materials print clearer than ever, right off the printer.

Hassle-Free Materials Management
Choose from a wide range of advanced materials, developed specifically for Formlabs printers by in-house materials scientists. With simplified material switching and automatic resin dispensing, the Form 3L allows you to walk away and focus on other work once your print job starts.
Many applications, one printer.
Print in over 15 functional resins to support a wide range of workflows on a single platform.
Switch materials in minutes.
Avoid the hassle and mess of purging materials with our swappable cartridge system, cross-compatible with other Formlabs SLA printers.
Automatic resin dispensing.
Our automated resin system dispenses resin as parts print. The Form 3L holds two cartridges of resin to avoid mid-print interruptions.
Available layer thickness settings vary by material. Visit our material settings roadmap for more details.
Part of the Formlabs Ecosystem
Formlabs is known for designing end-to-end additive workflows you’ll be excited to use. The Form 3L brings the Formlabs experience to large format 3D printing.
Post-Processing, Simplified
Rinse your part and remove supports with the Form 3L Finish Kit. For an automated finishing solution, use Form Wash and Form Cure for smaller parts, or use our large scale rinse and cure stations, Form Wash L and Form Cure L, coming Q4 2021.
