Testing One of the Biggest SLA Printers, Formlab’s Form 3L | 3Dnatives Lab
Ғылым және технология
A major presence in the 3D printing market for more than 10 years, Formlabs introduced the third generation of its popular desktop SLA 3D printer with the Form 3 in late 2019. Since then, the Boston-based manufacturer has unveiled various Form 3-derived models, with the Form 3L, Form 3B, Form 3BL and more recently the Form 3+ as well as the Form 3B+.
A few weeks after our test of the Fuse 1, we have the pleasure today to put the Form 3L on the test bench of the 3Dnatives Lab. The Form 3L is a desktop resin 3D printer offering one of the largest printing volumes on the market. For the release of this machine, Formlabs developed its own technology called LFS (for Low Force Stereolithography) with the aim of offering a higher level of detail, a smoother finish, simplified removal of printing support as well as improved precision and reproducibility.
At 3Dnatives, we prioritise high-quality 3D printing information. We therefore test the latest and most popular 3D printers and scanners on the market to show how effective they are to the world. Our tests delve into a range of factors including design, performance and reliability, ultimately giving each machine a score as well as an in-depth discussion of its various features.

Thanks!
wow those clear models came out so clear! I didn't see any yellowing. I use the clear resin all the time, any tips for avoiding yellowing?

Our model stayed pretty clear in the long run. If you’re having issues with yellowing, we would recommend ensuring that you clean your models well before curing and if the issue still persists, try keeping your prints away from sunlight!

Hi, I work at Formlabs at the facility where we make Clear V4. To avoid yellowing, apply a clear coat of spray paint after curing. Use matte or gloss, whichever you prefer.
Hard to find informative reviews on Form 3L these days, thank you, however that backround music was atrociously distracting
Is it test or commercial???

Hello! This is a test, we reviewed the printer independently from Formlabs, who had no editorial input. They would have learned the result of our testing at the same time everyone did, both on our website for the article and our KZread channel for this video.

@@3dnatives didn't look like that. You could always include 5 good things and 5 bad things this way it looks like review not commercial.... Cause you just saying stats no testing outside the "box" ....

Hello, sorry you feel this way. We tend to try and give a broader picture by printing a large number of models and listing specs before also giving our personal experience. You can also find more information as well as what we found to be the most significant pros and cons in the article.
Wanna collab? 😊
