We’re Reinventing 3D Printing!
Formlabs is expanding access to digital fabrication, so anyone can make anything. Formlabs is the professional 3D printer of choice for engineers, designers, manufacturers, dental and medical professionals, and decision makers around the globe.
Formlabs products include the Form 4/4B and Form 4L/4BL, powered by Low Force Stereolithography (LFS)™ 3D printing, Form Wash and Form Cure post-processing solutions, Fuse 1+ and Fuse X1 SLS 3D printers, and Factory Solutions manufacturing solution. Formlabs also develops its own suite of high-performance 3D printing materials that continue to push the boundaries for 3D printing, as well as best-in-class 3D printing software.
Formlabs Product Categories
Fuse X1 delivers production-quality parts same-day at 50% less and 3x the throughput of competitors. The Fuse X1 makes large-format industrial SLS 3D printing finally accessible — with the quality, ease of use, and service you’ve come to expect from Formlabs.
Fuse X1 makes it possible to deliver large prototypes next-day with less stitching or gluing and at a lower cost, minimizing labor and speeding up innovation. It also delivers the best cost per part (CPP) and the highest throughput for end-use parts, making SLS 3D printing competitive with injection molding for a wider range of applications.
Product Features
- Build Big: 330 × 330 × 565 mm build volume, with 30%+ packing density
- Low Part Cost: Production-quality parts for 50% less, all in half the space
- Productive: Same day large parts and three times the throughput of competitors
- Reliable: AI powdered Print Intelligence failure prevention
- Intuitive: Install and operate in one hour, start a print in five minutes
Hardware Overview: Production at the Press of a Button
- Build Big: Produce full-scale production-quality parts in a massive build volume or run production builds at over 30% packing density to manufacture thousands of end-use parts in days, not weeks. 330 × 330 × 565 mm build volume.
- Low Part Cost: Fuse X1 delivers up to 50% lower part cost than legacy powder bed fusion systems in less than half the floorspace. Fuse X1 is cost-competitive with injection molding for tens of thousands of parts.
- Productive: With 30%+ packing density and a 61.5L build volume, the Fuse X1 fits more parts in a single build than competing industrial SLS and MJF systems, adding up to thousands more parts per week. 3x throughput vs. Industrial Competitors
- Intuitive and Reliable: Fuse X1 fits through a standard door, doesn’t require facility retrofit, and installs and prints on day one. An intuitive touchscreen guides you, while the build unit enables 5-minute changeovers.
Technology
- Adaptive Thermal Control enables unlimited packing freedom, and exceptional part quality by delivering, maintaining, and sintering powder at an incredibly stable temperature.
- Print Intelligence uses AI-powered computer vision to isolate and prevent failures, maximizing uptime so you get great parts on time every time.
Workflow: Large Format SLS, Simplified
An end-to-end industrial workflow you can install and run in one hour. No dedicated operator required.
1. Prepare Auto-pack, optimize, and organize in PreForm: Orient, hollow, or label models, estimate print times, and automatically pack parts for optimized density, reducing print time and limiting waste. Import STL, OBJ, 3MF, or models directly from a wide range of CAD applications.
2. Print Print large parts in hours, not days: Most large builds complete under 24 hours, with same-day large parts in 5 hours. Print Intelligence detects and masks anomalies in real time to protect yield.
3. Swap 5-minute print changeovers with the Fuse X1 Build Unit: Roll one build unit out, roll the next one in, with blind-mate power and data connectors. Insulation allows natural cooling inside the unit, so the printer can start the next job.
4. Unpack Hands-off powder recovery with Fuse Sift X1: Integrated compressed air, sealed glovebox, and parts hatch keep breakout clean and fast. Capacity for 3 to 5 full builds of used powder, with automatic powder transport to the Mix Kit.
5. Finish Clean and Polish with Fuse Blast: New 400 mm Fuse Blast Large Tumbler Basket fits 2-3× Fuse build volumes and 50% more parts per cycle. Optional Polishing System upgrade delivers smooth, semi-gloss, dye-ready surfaces.

Print detailed parts with a stunning surface finish that aren’t possible with other desktop printers.
The Formlabs Form 4/4B & Form 4L/4BL series is the industry’s leading desktop SLA (stereolithography) 3D printer. The SLA process involves depositing a liquid resin which is cured, or hardened, into a solid material by the application of laser light.
As an authorised Formlabs Australian distributor, Emona will provide you with factory trained technical support and service to cover your Formlabs investment.
White Paper: Introduction to 3D Printing With Desktop Stereolithography (SLA)
Across industries, 3D printing is helping professionals cut outsourcing costs, iterate faster, optimize production processes, and even unlock entirely new business models. Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing in particular has become popular for its ability to produce high-accuracy, isotropic, watertight parts in a range of advanced materials with fine features and smooth surface finish.
In this white paper, learn how SLA printing technologies work, why thousands of professionals use this process today, and what you need to know to explore how this 3D printing process can benefit your work.
What you will learn
- An overview of SLA ecosystems and the step-by-step 3D printing workflow
- Why SLA parts have the highest resolution and accuracy, the sharpest details, and the smoothest surface finishes of all 3D printing technologies
- How SLA technology has evolved from cost-prohibitive monolithic machines to small format, versatile tools
- How in-house SLA compares to service bureaus, CNC mills, and other 3D printing technologies
- The benefits of the latest in SLA 3D printing: Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) technology
