The Form Studio 1 delivers professional‑grade resin prints at a lower price point and carries UL safety certification for indoor environments.

Formlabs has launched the Form Studio 1, a new resin‑based 3D printer that brings professional‑grade quality to home and office environments while meeting UL safety standards for indoor use.

Key Features and Specifications

The Form Studio 1 offers a build volume of 145 × 145 × 165 mm and supports Formlabs’ proprietary resin lineup, delivering layer resolutions as fine as 25 microns. Its compact footprint and quiet operation make it suitable for small workspaces.

Potential Impact on the Desktop 3D Printing Landscape

By combining professional resin technology with safety certifications and a more accessible price, Formlabs positions the Form Studio 1 as a bridge between consumer‑grade printers and industrial equipment, potentially expanding the market for high‑resolution additive manufacturing.

For designers and makers looking for reliable, high‑detail prints in a regulated office environment, the Form Studio 1 could become a go‑to solution, especially as the demand for rapid prototyping continues to grow.
