24/7 3D Printing with Form Auto

Effortless 24/7 Dental 3D Printing Without Interrupting Your Workflow

Before Form Auto, every completed part required manual removal from the build platform before post-processing. Form Auto fully automates part removal by leveraging Formlabs patented Quick Release Technology with Build Platform 2. Collected parts are placed in a UV-safe container for seamless batch transfer to the Form Wash. 

Tackle rush prints easily and from anywhere. Re-order your fleet's queue no matter where you are to make sure parts are printed ASAP at the lab.

Monitor and review finished prints remotely via images and videos in Fleet Control. An onboard camera saves a record of each print by capturing images and videos of each job.
