FormLabs 3B (LFS) Low Force Stereolithography (LFS)™

SLA 3D Printers use lasers and photosensitive resins to form 3D models. They are capable of tremendous detail. The FormLabs 3B is an SLA 3D Printer capable of printing bio-safe parts; parts that can be used in organic bodies for medical purposes.

Materials Selections

Material Types:

  • Standard Resins
    • Draft Resin is a less durable resin designed to print faster for prototyping purposes. If all you need is to see a physical model realized in physical space, regardless of scale, this is your best bet.
    • Clear Resin is notable for its complete transparency, which is not possible with other, filament-based printers.
  • Specialty Resins (additional charge)
    • High Temp Resin is made to withstand higher temperatures than general use resins.
