For many years, we have provided optimal 3D printing solutions to customers in high-end industrial segments. As 3D printers become increasingly widespread across industries, there is a growing demand for a broader range of materials and improved labor efficiency in response to rising workforce costs. To address these needs, we will combine the proven capabilities of Formlabs’ products with its extensive experience in SLA and SLS technologies to deliver advanced, value-added 3D printing solutions.
Features of Formlabs' 3D Printers
Form 4L (SLA) supports a lineup of 20 standard materials and 15+ specialty resins, while Fuse 1+ 30W (SLS) offers seven materials — both with open material capabilities.
Formlabs printers are known for their excellent usability and easy material changeover, enabling users to quickly adapt to different applications.
Leveraging these strengths, we enhance its product lineup to maximize 3D printer performance and provide flexible, application-specific solutions. Beyond installation, we will continue supporting customers with process optimization and improvement proposals, helping expand printer utilization and create greater value in production workflows.
