1. Prepare
Go from CAD to printing in minutes with just a few clicks using our free PreForm software.
2. Print
Monitor your prints and manage your printers from anywhere with an integrated camera, printer diagnostic tools, and our free Dashboard software.
3. Post-Process
Easy, effective post-processing in just fifteen minutes with quick- release Build Platform Flex, Form Wash, and Form Cure.
4. Finish
Use finished parts as they are or opt to sand, paint, coat, or electroplate them.
Form Wash
Form Wash automatically cleans printed parts thoroughly and efficiently with IPA or alternative solvents. Keep parts directly on the Build Platform as you transition them from the printer to Form Wash, or remove parts and place them in the wash basket. Parts are precisely and thoroughly agitated in solvent with an impeller, getting every nook and cranny perfectly clean, automatically for the appropriate time. When washing completes, the Form Wash automatically raises parts out of the IPA so they can air dry.
Form Cure
Post-curing maximizes material properties for stereolithography prints, improving parts’ strength and performance. For biocompatible materials, post-curing is necessary to achieve the safety standards determined by regulatory agencies. Form Cure precisely combines heat and 405 nm light to consistently post-cure prints.
