Formlabs has launched Form 2, the company’s second-generation high-resolution, desktop stereolithography 3D printer. The Form 2 brings bigger prints, smarter components, connected capabilities, and an intuitive printing experience to professionals. Form 2 raises the industry standard for reliable prints, delivers sophisticated technology with an intuitive interface, and introduces new features aimed at team collaboration, simpler workflows, and time savings.

“Through building the Form 1 and Form 1+ we’ve learned that professional engineers, designers, and creators need access to powerful, easy-to use systems,” said Max Lobovsky, co-founder of Formlabs. “We believe that this is the ‘next wave’ of the 3D printing industry: high resolution output with a simple user experience packaged in a desktop footprint. In many ways, 3D printing-technology is following a similar path to the desktop computer. It started with mainframes, was adopted by the hobbyist, and then evolved into the powerful desktop machines everyone uses today. The Form 2 represents the next wave of 3D-printing technology.”
