Formlabs

Formlabs is finally open with the launch of Developer Platform, unlocking the freedom to print with any unvalidated 405nm resin or 1064nm powder with Formlabs SLA or SLS printers, giving you more control, more affordability, and more options than ever before. Open Material Mode, along with SLA & SLS Print Settings Editor, provides expert users with full access to third-party materials, and maximum customization such as exposure, layer height, heating for SLA and layer thickness, XYZ correction factors, and exposure for SLS. At Formlabs, we believe in driving innovation forward by providing the freedom and flexibility you need to turn your ideas into reality.

3D Printing Wallets: Lockcard is a fast-growing startup based in the south of Germany that aims to develop wallets with the smallest possible dimensions. Co-founder Aaron Rau was growing frustrated with the lack of wallet options that were sleekly designed and affordable, yet didn't take up too much space in his pocket. That’s how the Lockcard Wallet was born. Since releasing the keyplate, previously known as the lockcard, in 2020, they have developed a number of other modules, such as cash compartments and AirTag extensions, and have sold over 100,000 products. At Lockcard, the Formlabs Fuse Series SLS 3D printers are an essential part of the business model; they are used as prototyping tools but also to produce end-use parts sold to customers. The product development process always starts with an idea. However, at Lockcard, the steps that follow this idea are sped up thanks to the Fuse Series printers. Rau says that once they develop the CAD model, the prototyping process is very quick. They can print many iterations of the same project thanks to the large build chamber of the Fuse SLS 3D printer and move on to final production significantly faster than if they used different manufacturing methods for the different production steps. The team at Lockcard is constantly looking to optimize their daily operations, which they share the results of on their numerous social media pages. Many of those optimizations include the use of the Formlabs Form 3+ SLA 3D printer. With Tough 2000 Resin, which Rau appreciates for its strength, the engineering team can print parts that allow them to build fixtures and assemble their products more efficiently. The resin's excellent deformation resistance makes it ideal for these types of parts that need to remain stiff even under pressure. Learn More: https://bit.ly/4f1Tinb

Form 4 Build Platform Flex with Quick Release Technology allows you to quickly and easily remove parts from the print surface without tools in seconds.

3D printing without support structures is incredibly satisfying, especially when using Formlabs TPU 90A with a low 20% refresh rate. This allows for printing with 80% recycled powder, significantly reducing waste. 3D printed on a Formlabs Fuse 1+ SLS printer, and designed using GesPodo SPRL software solution.
