Printing the impossible with Print Settings Editor—a free PreForm feature that gives advanced users even more control over their 3D prints. By allowing customization of key print parameters such as exposure, layer height, heating, layer thickness, XYZ correction, and exposure for SLA, users can fine-tune every aspect of their prints, optimizing the print quality and performance to fit any specific project need.

How NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration Uses Formlabs SLA and SLS 3D Printers for Coral Research: A study published in One Earth found that since 1950, over half the global population of coral has been wiped out. Anthropogenic, or human-caused, factors like water pollution, habitat destruction, and global warming from the use of fossil fuels, industrial farming, and deforestation, are the primary causes of the massive loss in coral population. Scientists and researchers at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) print heavy-duty sampler housings, jigs for experimental sensors and equipment, and customized components for their in-house aquaria—structures built to study coral fitness and methods to enhance coral resilience in the face of rising water temperatures and extreme conditions of a changing climate, utilizing two Formlabs Form 2 and two Form 3 stereolithography (SLA) printers as well as the Formlabs Fuse 1 selective laser sintering (SLS) printer. The SLA and SLS 3D printing technologies can create components with such tight tolerances that enclosures with interlocking features or those with screw threads can be completely watertight without additional steps. However, in extremely pressurized environments, additional steps such as using O-rings can increase the enclosures’ efficacy. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3BhDga3

Whether you're curious what an HP Certified Engineer really thinks about the Fuse vs. HP debate, or you're a fan of Alien: Romulus, Fallout, The Mandalorian, and more, join our live Q A with Legacy Effects' 3D Print Lab Manager, Samuel McBride. McBride will walk us through how he chooses projects for his two large-format MJF printers and his Fuse 1 30W, and his thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Materials Matter: Silicone 40A Resin is the first accessible 100% silicone 3D printing material, using Formlabs’ patent-pending Pure Silicone Technology™. Eliminate molding and labor-intensive casting processes and 3D print pure silicone parts in-house, in a matter of hours. With this 40A Shore durometer material, you can fabricate soft, pliable, and durable parts with a 230% elongation at break and a 12 kN/m tear strength that can withstand repeated cycles of stretching, flexing, and compression. Combine the high performance of silicone and the design freedom of 3D printing to create highly functional silicone parts with excellent chemical and thermal resistance (-25°C to 125°C), fine features as small as 0.3 mm, and complex geometries that are not possible with traditional methods.

The upper extremity scan takes just 10 milliseconds—so fast that the hand’s mesh is captured before you can even blink, making it ideal for perfectly fitting 3D-printed braces and splints. Manometric is revolutionizing the patient journey with custom-fitted splints and braces, where Formlabs SLA and SLS 3D printers play a crucial role.

Holy Technologies uses Form 4 and Fuse 1 to manufacture a variety of molds for lightweight components. They have developed a software-hardware production system that uses a combination of machine learning and additive manufacturing, capable of creating components for lightweight manufacturers across industries. The software calculates the ideal fiber paths to enable components out of one single fiber. By integrating factors like geometry, fiber properties, manufacturing settings, load conditions and recyclability constraints, the software determines the most efficient route for fibers. The ambition is to achieve an industrial-scale production system that cuts the production costs of composites by up to 50%. Find more information on the 3D printers here: https://bit.ly/3XpkWDc

3D printing has come a long way from the days of benchys and fidget spinners. As so many of Formlabs’ SLS customers are proving, end-use mass production is not only possible, it’s profitable. Over 55% of all SLS 3D printers sold worldwide are Fuse Series printers. Formlabs customers like Brose Group, WLD Additive Manufacturing, AMETEK, and more, rely on fleets of Fuse Series SLS 3D printers to produce hundreds of thousands of end-use products. To support and enable customers looking for high-volume production, we’re releasing new printer and powder packages that make it more affordable than ever to get started. Build a 4-Fuse fleet for less than half the cost of a traditional large-format system. Learn more about Fuse for Production: https://bit.ly/4gp2ALA
