Formlabs Form 4L Features
Formlabs Form 4L Benefits
Low Force Display Printing
Form 4L’s speed is driven by Formlabs’ new Low Force Display™ Print Engine, a powerful combination of ultra-high power LEDs, collimating lenses, optical filters, and a robust liquid crystal display.
Together they cure each layer of resin rapidly — regardless of part size or quantity. With tight tolerances, parts printed in every resin on Form 4 will match your design parameters, every time.
Tackle Any Problem
Leverage high-performance materials optimized for impact resistance, rigidity, flame retardancy, flexibility, and more.
Non-acrylate chemistries like true silicone, ceramic, and polyurethane materials. Certified third-party materials and open mode available.
Option to customize print performance for your exact part using editable and shareable print settings.
Stunning Parts
Parts with a surface finish that rivals injection molding.
Sharpest details: highly collimated light with pre-tuned anti-aliasing for subpixel resolution.
Smoothest surfaces: lower peel forces and light touch supports.
Most accurate assemblies: ±0.15% XY dimensional tolerances so assemblies always fit.
Unmatched control and reliability
Stop coming back to failed parts! The Formlabs Form 4L features validated print settings and a re-engineered intelligent control system.
Upgraded automatic and fast resin dispensing, and 5L Resin Pumping System. Monitor your prints and manage your printers from anywhere with an integrated camera, printer diagnostic tools, and free Dashboard software.
Easy, effective post-processing with quick release Build Platform Flex, Form Wash, and Form Cure.
