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
The Form 3L constantly monitors print performance so you can focus on bringing your most creative ideas to life. Integrated sensors help maintain ideal print conditions for nonstop throughput with minimal supervision.
Cloud monitoring:
Remotely monitor and manage your fleet of large format 3D 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
Professional parts
Stop sacrificing on quality for large-format 3D prints. The Form 3L provides the smooth surface finish, fine details, and high-performance properties that resin 3D printing is known for.

* Available layer thickness settings vary by material. Find the latest information on material and setting availability here.
Smooth surface finish:
Models printed on the Form 3L resemble polished injection-molded parts and can reach high translucency, for realistic looks-like prototyping.
Consistent precision:
A system of lasers and mirrors ensures uniform print quality, for an XY resolution of 25 microns across the entire build platform.
Advanced materials:
Each Formlabs material comes with optimized print settings to guarantee industry-leading print success and reliability, as well as standout mechanical, thermal, or biocompatible properties.
Get more done and work more efficiently with an end-to-end 3D printing workflow. From printing, to post-processing, each step of the process was designed with efficiency in mind.The Form 3L Workflow in Five Minutes
Advanced Materials for Industrial-Quality Parts
Bring your parts to life with the most comprehensive library of high-performance materials on the market, developed specifically for Formlabs printers by a team of 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.
Total freedom with Open Platform
Enhance your printer’s versatility with certified third-party materials, customizable print settings, or the ability to experiment with any unvalidated 405 nm photopolymer resin (optional, paid license).
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.
