The printer utilizes a 250mW precision laser to print with their specialty resin at a profession-grade level, and it does so at an affordable price (especially for SLA technology) of $3,499.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-57832 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/F2-ecosystem-1-1024x741.jpg\" alt=\"Formlabs Form 2 SLA 3D printer ecosystem\" width=\"750\" height=\"543\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In order to perfect the Form 2, the hard-working engineering team at Formlabs had to perform a lot of different testing processes, ensuring that any issues the Form 1 had would be eliminated. The ability to print quality components is always an important part of development, but for Formlabs, reliability seems to be just as vital to the process. While I was at Inside <a href=\"\/service\/3d-printing\"><\/a> earlier this week, I got to see Formlabs&#8217; lead engineer Ian Ferguson discuss this rigorous testing process in his keynote speech about \u201c<em>Testing the Reliability of the Most Advanced Desktop 3D Printer<\/em>\u201d. After listening to his intriguing speech on the \u2018torture tests\u2019 put on the Form 2 to ensure it would provide a long-last and fruitful relationship to their growing customer base, I had the opportunity to interview him.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76276\" src=\"https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6526-e1460582207129.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6526\" width=\"728\" height=\"546\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I met Ferguson at the Formlabs expo booth, where they had a few Form 2s on display. We sat and talked about the transition from the Form 1+ into the Form 2, the different ways to test reliability, and why these testing process are so vital to the 3D printing industry. Ferguson started, <em>\u201cThe biggest thing we had with the Form 2 is that we had already shipped the Form 1 to customers, so we already knew what people were looking to do with the printer. We had data we had collected from customers; we talked to them; we had more than a hundred Form 1+ printers that we used in our office. So, we knew what the problems were. At some point, I designed a part that just consistently failed on the Form 1+, which was a frustrating experience, but at the same time we were developing the Form 2, and an early prototype was able to print that part immediately. That\u2019s when I knew we were onto something big, when I was able to print this devil part on the Form 2.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76280\" src=\"https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6533-e1460582241404.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6533\" width=\"728\" height=\"546\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In order to ensure reliability while maintaining practicality, Ferguson explained that they had to factor in the customer experience with the earlier Formlabs printer. <em>\u201cA lot of the stuff is just figuring out what the lifetime and total usage will be<\/em><em> looking at how our customers viewed the Form 1, taking those numbers and increasing them,&#8221;<\/em> he continues. <em>&#8220;So, I was testing all of those components to that extent, and then there are other things that are much harder, like how do you know if you\u2019re getting the right performance? For that we had do design lots of prints and tests to figure that out, which was pretty hard, and honestly it\u2019s something we\u2019re still getting better at.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To test the part printing abilities quickly and efficiently, Formlabs has to print parts with a number of features widely used. He says, \u201c<em>Test parts have things like positive and negative features, slots, multiple orientations, and M4 thread, wires, and other small overhangs and bridges. Typical features you see on parts, it takes a lot of time to run 100 prints and collect the data, it\u2019s not trivial, so we test all of the necessary features on one part.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76278\" src=\"https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6529-e1460582267317.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6529\" width=\"728\" height=\"546\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The interesting part of the experience for the Formlabs team seems to be the process of informing their consumers about their rare technology-in-desktop format. <em>\u201cI showed a slide in my keynote of a 3D Hubs page that showed we\u2019re the only SLA desktop printer on their list of reliable printers.&#8221;<\/em> Ferguson says.<em> &#8220;In our regard, it\u2019s definitely an interesting experience being the main desktop SLA printer, we had to do a lot of education with people about why they should use SLA, many people don\u2019t know, they\u2019ll say, \u2018how is this different from regular 3D printing\u2019, but we respond with what is regular 3D printing? Why does it have to be FDM? It\u2019s great being the leaders in our field, we get to figure out what\u2019s best, work with partners who are interested in our technology because we\u2019re the main game in town to work on this stuff, we get to explore a lot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There are a few companies following in the footsteps of Formlabs, such as Full Spectrum Laser, but still SLA\/DLP printing technology has not been as wide-spread as Ferguson might have expected. But it makes sense, in a way, as the Form 2 itself took many years of testing to reach the state of professional-grade printing within a desktop sized machine. Ferguson continued,<em> \u201cWe\u2019ve seen a few people trying to do various versions of SLA, different technologies, but honestly I\u2019ve been kind of shocked about how little competition there\u2019s been. Frankly, it\u2019s pretty hard, we have a lot of engineers at Formlabs working really hard and we have a lot of talented people, but it still took us about four years to get to the Form 2, which I think is the printer people really want. So it\u2019s difficult for people to follow in the SLA footsteps, there\u2019s definitely some movement but not really a lot.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76279\" src=\"https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_6532-e1460582300110.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6532\" width=\"728\" height=\"546\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With an affordable price point and professional-grade capability, the Form 2 is a printer that works for a number of applications. Though the Form 2 is geared towards more commercial uses,<em> &#8220;We are pretty focused on professionals, we really love when hobbyist and more consumer-end people buy them, but our core market is businesses,&#8221; <\/em>he says. <em>&#8220;Basically, we\u2019re making something that is good enough for businesses to use, but also good enough and inexpensive enough for consumers to use as well. The biggest trend we\u2019ve seen is that finally the business world is starting to realize that they can do a lot with inexpensive 3D printing, still to today we\u2019re having to deal with people asking why they should pick us over a $50,000 printer. We\u2019re really seeing niche application rise, too. We\u2019re doing more and more jewelry, more and more biomedical. These people who aren\u2019t in the mainstream of 3D printing, such as prototyping and part design. They\u2019re getting more and more into this, but need more education on it as well.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As for the future of Formlabs, Ferguson hinted at possible extensions out of SLA and into other 3D printing ventures. Ferguson concluded the interview with an optimistic, yet practical approach, saying, <em>&#8220;I always think people expect the market to move faster then it really is, but at the same time I think there will continue to be pretty rapid changes. I think it\u2019s going to methodical, superior materials that will help us break into new areas of 3D printing. For Formlabs in particular, while we\u2019re certainly very proud of our stereolithography line, we\u2019re going to start figuring out what else we can do well, that\u2019s still in its early stages. Basically, I think we have a great team that\u2019s really great at building tools for professionals to get stuff done, so we\u2019d like to see where we can keep going with that.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I walked the expo floor at Inside , I noticed a number of innovative FDM printers both big and small, but there was one desktop printer that seemed to especially standout.
