Formlabs’ new automation accessories turn its 3D printers into mini factories
Formlabs’ new 3D printers are 40 percent faster

New for 2022 include higher-intensity lasers, new material settings and faster, more durable hardware, with a promise of 40 percent faster prints. It also comes with the Build Platform 2, an updated deck for manufacturing that makes it easier to remove prints when they’re done.

At the same time, the company is showing off ESD Resin, enabling you to build components that dissipate electrostatic discharges. This should, Formlabs hopes, open up new opportunities for prints that can be used inside the electronics industry and other high-tech operations.
The Form 3+ and 3B+ will cost the same as the models they replace, $3,499 and $4,850, respectively, and you’ll be able to buy it at some point today and shipping starts immediately.
