Enter our new partnership with Formlabs!
In the 3D printing space, Formlabs has earned a reputation for exceptional print quality, reliability, and ease of use. As of late, they've delivered on their reputation within the dental market, producing dental 3D printers and resins for in-office production of everything from models and surgical guides to splints, dentures, and even indirect bonding trays.
Formlabs’ recently introduced their Form 4B 3D printer, designed specifically for dentists. This tech propelled them as a top choice for us to reach a distributor agreement, bringing
Formlabs combines professional-grade performance with a user-friendly design, making advanced 3D printing technology more approachable for general dentists, orthodontists, prosthodontists, and dental labs.
Formlabs printers use Low Force Stereolithography (LFS), a type of resin-based 3D printing that ensures smooth surfaces, fine details, and precise edges. This is critical for applications like:
Crown and bridge models
Clear aligner models
Surgical guides
Occlusal splints
Denture bases and teeth
Formlabs Dental offers a library of pre-validated workflows, simplifying the process of moving from intraoral scan to final product. Their software is integrated with leading scanners like 3Shape, Medit, Alliedstar and iTero, and Formlabs’ PreForm software streamlines file preparation with automatic support generation and optimal print settings.
Formlabs provides a wide range of biocompatible and application-specific materials, including:
Dental Model Resin – for accurate models and dies
Fast Model Resin – for speed and extremely low-odor printing
LT Clear Resin – for hard splints
Draft Resin – for speedy prototypes and rapid iterations
The Form 4B is the next-generation system with faster print speeds, enhanced accuracy, and an updated user interface. It’s optimized for high-throughput environments and same-day dentistry.
Faster Print Times: Up to 5x faster than the Form 3B+. This means you can print 11 dental models in only 9 minutes.
New Print Engine: Leveraging Formlabs’ improved LFS technology
Enhanced Resin Handling: Smart cartridge system for streamlined material changes
Formlabs makes high-end 3D printing accessible. Compared to industrial systems that can cost upwards of $20,000–$50,000, Formlabs’ dental printers offer competitive performance starting at around $5,000–$10,000.
From intuitive PreForm software to plug-and-play hardware, Formlabs printers are designed for busy dental teams with limited technical experience.
Whether you're printing a few splints a week or running a high-volume clear aligner model operation, Formlabs printers can scale with your growth.
Formlabs is supported by a large and active community of dental professionals, with ongoing resin development, software updates, and training resources to support evolving clinical needs.
Formlabs dental 3D printers are a strong fit for:
General dentists looking to fabricate in-house nightguards, surgical guides, or temporaries
Orthodontists producing models for aligners and bonding trays
Prosthodontists printing try-ins, dentures, or custom trays
Dental labs that need a reliable, scalable solution for daily production
Whether you're digitizing your workflow for the first time or adding capacity to an established lab, Formlabs offers a reliable, well-supported, and clinically validated platform for a wide range of applications.
Formlabs dental 3D printers have earned their place in modern practices by making precision, flexibility, and affordability widely accessible.
