FormLabs Form 3 Resin Printing Demonstration
Details
In this hands-on demo, participants will experience the precision and workflow of the FormLabs Form 3 SLA resin printer from start to finish. The session introduces the entire process of turning a digital model into a smooth, high-resolution physical object — perfect for miniatures, custom game pieces, or detailed prototypes.
What we cover:
- PreForm Software – Learn how to prepare a digital design for resin printing. We’ll walk through importing a model, orienting it for best print quality, and generating automatic supports.
- Printer Setup – See how the Form 3 uses its Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) technology, with a laser curing liquid resin layer by layer to achieve detail down to 25 microns.
- Printing Process – Watch the machine in action as it builds your design out of liquid resin.
- Removing the Print – Learn safe handling: opening the build chamber, detaching the print from the build platform, and clipping away supports.
- Post-Processing – Introduction to rinsing parts in isopropyl alcohol, optional curing with the Form Cure station, and final sanding or finishing steps.
Takeaway:
By the end, participants understand not just how resin 3D printing works in theory, but the real, tactile steps of creating and finishing a professional-quality print.
