Precise and fast 3D printer for large-format manufacturing
We have noticed that often in industrial sectors, engineers need maximum precision parts and end products with smooth surfaces. They look for solutions where the large size of the parts matters, but also the availability of advanced materials and the speed of the equipment.
The Formlabs Form 4L printer is the answer created specifically for industry. With the improved LCD screen technology patented as Low Force Display, it becomes possible to print precision models, spare parts and end products.
Prints from a wide range of standard and engineered resins such as Tough, Durable and Rigid are characterized by very good performance. They exhibit abrasion resistance, stiffness and good properties in high temperature environments.
Form 4L is used by industries such as manufacturing, electronics, electrical engineering, foundry, and jewelry.
Immediate transition between the design and production phases
Easy post-processing – dedicated Form Wash L and Form Cure L print cleaning and curing equipment
Easy to use and short training
Print accuracy of up to +/- 0.02 mm with layer heights as low as 25 microns (for Castable Wax resin)
Speed of production of elements – up to 6 hours!
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
With basic resin printers, printing takes more time. Formlabs offers setup templates to speed up the workflow and does not require mastering complex configurations in software.
The materials used in Form 4L are described in detail in the material sheets, and the range is constantly being developed. You will be able to find a material for every need.
Are you worried about the complexity of the 3D printing process? If you’re at the beginning of your journey when it comes to operating the printer and configuring print settings, the Form 4L won’t cause you any additional work. Equipped with many accessories, the plug & play device has a clear interface and intuitive software for operation. It requires only a short training course, so that you won’t have to invest extra to start production!
When you invest resources in a machine, you may want to be sure that any repair will take place at an authorized service center. We are in constant contact with Formlabs and make repairs using authorized parts and methods.
The Form 4L resin 3D printer works most efficiently together with the Form Wash L print cleaning station and Form Cure L 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 4L in your company?
LFD technology is a patent from Formlabs. In all simulations, LFD proves 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 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.
