Formlabs - Form Studio 1 Build Platform
Form Studio 1 Build Platform
Form Studio 1 offers two options: the Standard Build Platform and the Build Platform with Quick Release Technology. These can be used according to your printing frequency, removal method, and workflow requirements, making resin 3D printing faster and more efficient from print completion to part removal.
Form Studio 1 Standard Build Platform
The Form Studio 1 Standard Build Platform features a durable aluminum print surface, providing a stable foundation for everyday resin 3D printing.
For users with high print volumes or those who frequently switch materials, having additional spare build platforms can reduce equipment downtime.
Key Advantages of the Standard Build Platform
Durable Aluminum Surface
Features a rugged and durable aluminum print surface, suitable for daily resin 3D printing tasks.
Rapid Spare Platform Rotation
Swap in another platform to continue printing while removing or processing parts, reducing machine idle time.
Efficient Material Switching
Combining extra build platforms with dedicated resin tanks further simplifies the switching process between different resins.
Suitable for Continuous Printing
Especially practical for workflows requiring frequent printing, rapid prototyping, or small-batch production.
Form Studio 1 Flexible Build Platform
The Form Studio 1 Flexible Build Platform is equipped with Quick Release Technology, allowing users to remove printed parts from the surface in seconds without the need for scrapers or other removal tools.
By flexing the platform to release parts, you can reduce the risk of part breakage, surface scratches, or inconvenience often associated with using traditional scrapers.
Advantages of Quick Release Technology
- Remove printed parts without using a scraper.
- Complete part removal in seconds.
- Reduce the likelihood of damaging models during removal.
- Minimize direct contact between tools and the part or print surface.
- Accelerate post-processing workflows after printing.
- Suitable for most daily resin 3D printing scenarios.
Comparison: Form Studio 1 Standard vs. Flexible Build Platform
| Comparison Item | Standard Build Platform | Flexible Build Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Compatible Equipment | Form Studio 1 | Form Studio 1 |
| Main Structure | Durable aluminum surface | Flexible structure for quick release |
| Primary Use | Stable, daily resin 3D printing | Speeding up post-print part removal |
| Quick Release Technology | No | Yes |
| Removal Method | Standard platform removal | Flexing the platform to release parts |
| Tools Required | Depends on parts and operation | Generally no tools required |
| Reduce Damage Risk | Standard | Better for workflows requiring reduced risk |
| Ideal Scenario | General printing, spare platforms, continuous printing | High-frequency printing, rapid removal, improved post-processing efficiency |
Why Prepare Extra Form Studio 1 Build Platforms?
In professional resin 3D printing workflows, parts typically require removal, washing, drying, and post-curing after the machine finishes printing. With only a single build platform, the printer may have to wait until parts are removed before it can start the next job.
Adding a spare build platform allows you to swap platforms immediately upon print completion, enabling the Form Studio 1 to quickly enter the next print task.
Rapid Prototyping
Continuously print multiple design iterations, reducing wait times between versions.
Small-Batch Manufacturing
Increase equipment utilization through platform rotation, making batch production more continuous.
Multi-Material Workflow
Pairing with different resin tanks and build platforms makes managing various materials and projects much easier.
