3D Printer – Form 2 [NI-SERV-2020-30]

Stereolithography (SLA) 3D Printing

SHORT DESCRIPTION

The Form 2 is a stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer that fabricates high-resolution parts by curing liquid photopolymer resin with a laser, layer by layer – a process known as photopolymerization. This technique is ideal for producing detailed prototypes, functional models, and complex geometries with smooth surface finishes. SLA printing is widely used across various fields, including engineering, product design, dentistry, jewelry, education, and research.
