The Form 3 Workflow in Five Minutes
The Form 3 is a part of a 3D printing ecosystem that’s easy to learn and use and requires little intervention or maintenance. Watch the video to learn the basics of how to use the Form 3, from the software and materials to printing and post-processing.
Automate Cleaning with Form Wash
Parts travel straight from the Form 3 or Form 2 to Form Wash. Opt to go glove-free and keep parts directly on the build platform.
Set it and Forget it
Simply set the appropriate time and let Form Wash get to work.

While you’re away, parts are precisely agitated in IPA, getting every nook and cranny perfectly clean.
Once washing completes, Form Wash automatically lifts parts out of the IPA, avoiding over-soaked, warped prints. Parts air dry and are ready when you are.

Designed to Maximize Material Properties
For Standard Resins, simply use Form Cure’s default time and temperature.
For all other materials, use unique recommended settings for optimum performance.
Form Cure’s turntable rotates to provide uniform exposure.
The heating system preheats the chamber to get parts ready for optimum post-curing.
Once the chamber is heated, 13 LEDs trigger the post-curing reaction, bringing parts to their maximum mechanical properties.
Reliable, Professional Post-Curing
Once time is up, parts are fully cured and ready for peak performance.
