Form 3

The form 3 is a high grade SLA printer which can print reliably and to a very high level of detail. While post processing takes longer and is more arduous than FDM, the finished prints are without layer lines and of a high quality. Form 3 prints are washed in an automatic IPA washer, before being cured by UV light, then supports are removed and then the model is sanded is and finally oiled. It does however have a small buildplate.
