Formlabs Form 2 (SLA Printer)
Submitted by: Allison Fonder
The Form 2 SLA printer utilizes stereolithography, or the process of using a laser to cure photopolymer resin, for precise and detailed 3d prints. It's a great option for smaller studios with tight budgets.
Price:
Refurbished starts at $2,400
Pros:
- Produces a highly finished part straight out of the printer
- Easy to sand and finish
- Capacity to print very thin walls
- Great price for the quality it provides
- Software easy to navigate
Cons:
- Smaller footprint
- Slightly slower than FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printing
- Resin can be expensive, so price per print can be higher than other processes
