Formlabs is excited to introduce Form Auto, Fleet Control, and High Volume Resin System \u2014 three new products that together make up the Formlabs Automation Ecosystem. These three products enable high-productivity 3D printing at scale, reduce cost per part, and improve users\u2019 experience managing multiple desktop stereolithography (SLA) printers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Form Auto<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>is a hardware extension for the Form 3\/B\/+ printers that automatically removes finished parts from Build Platform 2 and starts the next print without the need for operator interaction. It can be purchased separately, or as part of a new printer package for current and new customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Fleet Control<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>is a suite of newly available, advanced features in PreForm and Dashboard that facilitate easier management of multiple 3D printers with centralized queue management and automatic printer assignment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>High Volume Resin System<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>is a 5L Resin Bag and Resin Pump that expands the standard resin capacity of a Formlabs SLA printer, reduces waste, and minimizes cartridge handling tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"TextPlugin_p-md__poY3c TextPlugin_theme__sG0yW TextPlugin_text-plugin__u4_Uw TextPlugin_theme__sG0yW\">\n<p>For many printers or for singular units, these products can be used together as the Automation Ecosystem or as separate products for your own specialized workflow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Form 3\/B\/+ printers have enabled small businesses to build themselves up, large businesses to become more efficient and innovative, educators to engage their students, inventors to bring ideas to life, and so much more. And though the printers\u2019 ease of use has opened up so many doors, we never want to stop improving.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Form Auto, Fleet Control, and the High Volume Resin System allow users to supercharge their productivity, reduce cost per part, and minimize the headaches that come with higher throughput through a series of features meant to make users\u2019 lives easier and products even better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1268\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mjPZ6nnKOeg\" title=\"Introducing Formlabs Automation Ecosystem: 24\/7 Production Made Easy\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"Header_headerText__qRPu1 Header_as-h2__xGbSD Header_weight-700__AniPs Header_theme__tkmrI\" id=\"Reaching%20New%20Levels%20of%20Productivity%20and%20Lowering%20Costs\">Reaching New Levels of Productivity and Lowering Costs<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"TextPlugin_p-md__poY3c TextPlugin_theme__sG0yW TextPlugin_text-plugin__u4_Uw TextPlugin_theme__sG0yW\">\n<p>The Formlabs Automation Ecosystem minimizes labor time, creates more flexibility for printer operators, and streamlines the 3D printing workflow so that their time can be used for tasks no one else can do. By automating the part removal, queue management, and printer prep tasks, you can reduce cost per part. Automation enables businesses to leverage 3D printing for production, making it easier to offer greater value for customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Businesses that have leveraged 3D printing to speed up their production, take control over their supply chain, or digitize stages of their process can now take it one step further. Automation makes 3D printing even easier and more efficient, and Form Auto, Fleet Control, and High Volume Resin System work in concert to reduce costs and improve productivity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>Retrieved from (&#8220;The New Formlabs Automation Ecosystem: Eliminate 3D Printer Downtime and Reduce Cost Per Part,&#8221; 2023).<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.engitype.com\/WP\/contact-us\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Request Pricing&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":8558,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,14,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home-page-posts","category-news","category-products"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.engitype.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.engitype.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.engitype.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.engitype.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.engitype.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8577"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.engitype.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8577\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8612,"href":"https:\/\/www.engitype.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8577\/revisions\/8612"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.engitype.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.engitype.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.engitype.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.engitype.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
