Form Studio 1 3D Printer

The Formlabs® Form Studio 1 3D Printer was designed to bring precision resin 3D printing into an accessible, affordable workflow. From detailed concept models to functional prototypes, the Studio 1 provides a platform for transforming digital designs into physical parts. Its integrated printing system and compatible materials support users who need consistent print quality without a complicated process. The Form Studio 1 is powerful, easy to use, and most jobs are completed in less than two hours.

The Form Studio 1 was inspired by traditional Stereolithography (SLA) and further engineered by the Formlabs team. Its supercharged Low Force Display™ (LFD) Print Engine uses a bottom-up printing method with a powerful backlight and high-resolution Light Processing Unit (LPU) to expose light from below the resin tank. The LPU screen features a proprietary texture that allows airflow under the resin tank, preventing suction with the tank and minimizing peel force.

As the build platform rises, resin is cured at the bottom of the tank, one layer at a time. Each new layer is gently released with the help of the resin tank's dual-film technology, which features a stretchy film to reduce peel force. As each layer is released from the tank, liquid resin flows into the area and is ready to be cured immediately.

To optimize the printing process, various sensors monitor resin levels, regulate resin temperature, detect debris, provide accurate print status updates, and enable remote monitoring. With the Formlabs Dashboard software (included) and built-in camera (which can be disabled for security), you can remotely manage your prints from just about anywhere.

The Form Studio 1 has a build volume of 20.0 x 12.5 x 23.5 cm (7.9 x 4.9 x 9.3 in).

Please note that the Form Studio 1 is estimated to start shipping late November - early December 2026.

Features


Complete Accuracy
The Form Studio 1 is designed to produce intricate details and smooth surfaces. This printer offers top-tier accuracy and consistency with its 35-micron pixel size, dimensional tolerance ±0.15% XY, subpixel detail capture, and pre-tuned anti-aliasing. With its reduced peel forces and light-touch supports, you'll get a high-quality finish on every print.


Rapid Speed
From prototyping to fast iterations, this printer delivers impressive speed, finishing most prints in under two hours. The Form Studio 1 features a custom lens array delivering uniform optical power for fast curing, Release Texture V2 with flexible film tank technology, and max print speeds up to 130 mm/hr. Integrated sensors and remote monitoring allow you to step away and continue building multiple iterations per day.


High Success Rate
In addition to precision and speed, the Form Studio 1 3D printer features intelligent technologies designed to deliver an impressive 98% success rate. With the Low Force Display™ Print Engine's optical performance, 35 µm resolution, and low peel force, along with integrated sensors and easy-to-use software, the chances of having a failed print are drastically reduced.


Industry-Leading Resins & Open Compatibility
Take on any project with Formlabs' high-performance Alpha Resins or choose from validated general-purpose, clear, and model materials. Form Studio 1 resins offer UL GREENGUARD Gold certification for low VOC emissions (when used with the VOC Extractor) and ISO 10993 compliance for long-term skin contact. Plus, print with any third-party resin with no license fee.


Easy to Use & Safe
The Formlabs interface guarantees an easy-to-use experience every time, learn to print in just 10 minutes. Compatible with Windows and Mac, files can be sent via Wi-Fi, USB, or Ethernet. PreForm® software offers real-time printability checks and 1-click print setup for STL, OBJ, 3MF, STEP, and native CAD files (SOLIDWORKS, Creo, CATIA). Additionally, Alpha liquid resins score as a non-skin irritant under OECD 439 to minimize risks form incidental contact.
