Ultra-fast and precise resin printer
We have noticed that often in industries such as parts and toolmaking, engineers need to expand their ability to create prototypes and high-quality final parts. They are looking for solutions where the precision of printing matters, but also the availability of advanced materials and the speed of equipment.
The Formlabs Form 4 printer will suit these demands as a device designed for high throughput. It enables the printing of precision parts, prototypes and final products where high accuracy and speed are important.
Form 4 is used by industries such as manufacturing, electronics, electrical engineering, foundry, jewelry.
Immediate transition between the design and production phases
Easy post-processing
Easy to use and short training
Print accuracy of up to +/- 0.02 mm with layer heights as low as 25 microns
The speed of component manufacturing – up to 5 times faster than Form 3!
A wide range of light-curing resins from Formlabs
Remote print surveillance – camera and online control
High durability of the device – the warranty covers 12 months with the possibility of extension
Using basic printers, very often the final print does not meet standards. The prints contain cavities and are not made accurately. When you want precise prints that reflect the design well, Formlabs printers are the right answer. They put repeatability of prints first, which reaches 98%.
With basic resin printers, printing takes more time. Formlabs offers ultra-fast LFD technology and setup templates to speed up your workflow and doesn’t require you to master complicated setups in software. Full printing in 2 hours now at your fingertips!
Unlike low-cost Chinese counterparts, Formlabs Form 4 does not generate hidden costs: rejected prints due to defects, difficulties in servicing, time needed each time to adjust settings. Usage costs can be reduced by up to 80%.
Form 4 works with Formlabs’ patented LFD resin technology, where a minimum 50-micron screen is used for photopolymerization. This achieves print accuracy and surface smoothness.
When working with Form 4, you have reliable and eco-friendly resins at your disposal. You can use materials developed by Formlabs specifically for LFD printers, while you can also add access to third-party materials.
Even at the design stage of the part, you are able to predict the printing time, and material savings and production continuity are guaranteed by peripheral devices like resin feeders and material pump containers.
Form 4 is high-speed printing for industry. You can produce parts with electrostatic properties (electronics), temperature resistant (foundry and jewelry), smooth surface or high elasticity.
Are you worried about the complexity of the 3D printing process? Are you at the beginning of your journey when it comes to operating the printer and configuring print settings? The Formlabs printer is a plug & play device. You will benefit from a clear interface, short training and intuitive PreForm software. You won’t have to invest extra to start production!
When investing money in a machine, you may want to be sure that any repair will take place at an authorized service center. At CadXpert, we offer products from well-known, stable and proven 3D printing companies. We are in touch with the manufacturer and make repairs using authorized parts and methods.
The Form 4 resin 3D printer works most efficiently together with the Form Wash print cleaning station and Form Cure curing lamp. Together, they form a mutually compatible ecosystem. Instantly clean prints and cure printed parts with dedicated peripherals from Formlabs.
Yes, we won’t leave you alone. Along with each printer, we offer training for employees on how to use the device.
What will you gain by implementing Form 4 in your company?
In all simulations, Formlabs solutions prove to be faster than the competition. Print without worrying about lost time!
We know that our customers need reliable 3D printing information and printer comparisons in their purchases. When it comes to making a substantive case for a purchase, breadth and precision of insight is important.
With this in mind, we created “3D Printer Comparison. A Universal User’s Guide.”
Our guide will help you in the decision-making process. It’s a useful resource that you’ll be able to present to a board of directors or before a purchasing committee. It helps you evaluate technologies and 3D printers against a number of useful criteria.
Example of return on investment in the production of components for the electronics industry. We considered the production of a connector with a throughput of 20 parts per day.
To implement an in-house printer is to become independent of the supplies, logistics and deadlines of subcontractors. It is also worth including indirect benefits in the calculation of the investment.
Do you aim to get into 3D printing on an industrial level and need financing for selected solutions? At the same time you may not want to lock up full amounts of your own funds. At CadXpert, we support you from the beginning of your journey and enable you to take advantage of leasing our equipment.
We work with several partners to obtain financing for your projects. We will show you where you can go to find support and get funding with simplified procedures and maximum customer care. We will help you buy and implement very quickly.
Leasing is the optimal solution for businesses. With no one-time investment, the device works for you from the beginning and you can treat the installments as a tax-deductible expense.
At CadXpert, Formlabs’ certified engineers provide warranty care for equipment throughout its lifetime. There is no need to use foreign, non-responsive service centers.
You will be able to get in touch at any time about the operation of the device and get the missing information.
Our implementation consultants, as part of the initial application audit, will help you find additional applications for your printer so that you can realize the full potential of the device.
We will send a consultant to your factory or lab to review possible 3D printing applications and audit the applications for the printer.

If you are thinking about using 3D printing and want to learn more and count the return on investment, talk to our 3D printing consultant.
As part of the conversation, the consultant:
In furtherance of our cooperation:
Do you have a specific problem or challenge that 3D printing could solve?
What size parts do you want to print? The most common prints are important, as they are the ones worth investing in 3D printers for.
What is more important to you aesthetics or the durability of the print? This will help us determine the right printing technology.
Is the print to meet any additional requirements? E.g. chemical resistance, heat resistance, biocompatibility certificate, pressure maintenance, low weight, handling of very heavy loads, abrasion resistance, good sliding properties, etc.
