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
