Form Auto from Formlabs is an automation ecosystem for continuous high-throughput SLA 3D printing.
Form Auto is a hardware extension for the Form 3+ and Form 3B+ series 3D printers that automatically removes finished parts from Build Platform 2 and starts the next print without the need for operator interaction, enabling 24/7 3D printing with no printer downtime.
The Form Auto is ideal for those needing to produce multiple part batches with minimal downtime.
Use Form Auto as part of a fuller automation ecosystem, eliminating idle printer time with additional solutions:
