Formlabs Form 2

Unsurpassed print quality ; Slick touchscreen operation ; Quiet ; Wireless print uploading

Still messier than FDM printing ; High ongoing costs

Not at all cheap to run, but the Form 2 is capable of the best print quality you can get from a desktop 3D printer.

Superior print performance ; Extremely user-friendly features ; Simple yet powerful software ; Wide variety of materials ; Large print capacity

Expensive ; Resin is messy

The Form 1 made the case for at-home SLA 3D printing, and the better-in-every-way Form 2 is driving it home.

High quality prints ; Practical resins ; Easy to extract models

Printing times are slow ; Messy when cleaning up prints ; Expensive compared with FFM printers

The Form 2 stands alone both in terms of price and ability. Print quality and resin mean that you can build almost anything but the price and SLA technology will not suit everyone.

Superb print quality. Automatic resin feed. USB, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet connectivity. Touch screen. Several custom resin types available.

Printer couldn't detect one resin cartridge in our testing. A few confusing error messages. Takes time to master printing.

The Formlabs Form 2 3D Printer delivers consistently reliable performance and can produce extremely detailed and complex 3D objects. The printer supports both USB and network printing.

The printer and materials are very expensive. It performs rather slowly, and its printed objects require cleaning or will remain sticky for weeks.

Incredibly expensive, the Formlabs Form 2 3D Printer is only worth the investment for those with very specific needs and deep pockets.

Excellent print quality ; Good selection of print materials including support for third-party resins ; Simple-to-use software ; Very adaptable for multiple users

Both printer and resin are expensive ; Testing produced occasional print failures with large prints

The Form 2 is an excellent, but expensive SLA printer that produces very high-quality prints.

Fazit: Der Formlabs Form 2 3D-Drucker zeigt im Test seine Stärken: Sie erhalten hier perfekte Formen, glatte Oberflächen und stabile Strukturen. Die Bedienung ist gut durchdacht, einfach und intuitiv. Leider hat das Ganze noch seinen Preis.

Fazit: Dank der Verarbeitung von Kunstharz setzt der Formlabs Form One Plus im Test einen neuen Bestwert bei der Druckqualität. Das flüssige Material hat aber auch seinen Preis: Ein Liter kostet rund 135 Euro. Dafür arbeitet das Gerät schnell und mit...
