Professional Desktop Resin 3D Printing, Now Accessible to Anyone.
Welcome to the next generation of desktop additive manufacturing. The Formlabs Form Studio 1 brings the industry-leading reliability, precision, and software integration of Formlabs' industrial SLA machines to an accessible, compact format designed for creators, designers, hobbyists, and professional studios.
Whether you are prototyping intricate product designs, casting bespoke jewellery, or manufacturing tabletop miniatures, the Form Studio 1 delivers breathtaking 35 µm resolution at blazing speeds—producing most parts in under two hours. Leave the messy, unreliable budget printers behind and step into a truly professional.
- Blazing fast: most parts print in under two hours, with speeds up to 130 mm/h on Alpha Fast Resin.
- Safe: Low-odor, low chemical emissions. Rigorously tested, UL GREENGUARD GOLD Certified.
- Reliable: Formlabs’ unmatched reliability with a 99% Print Success rate. With five intelligent control systems monitor temperature, resin level, print force, and print status on every job.
- Amazing parts: a 35 µm pixel, anti-aliasing, and resins tuned to the light engine deliver sharp edges and smooth surfaces.
- Automatic resin handling: integrated, hands-free dispensing with glove-free material swaps in under a minute
- Open platform: Open Material Mode is included, so customers can print in any 405 nm resin with no lisense fee.
From File to Finished Part
The entire Form Studio 1 workflow is designed to be simple, even if you've never printed with resin before.
- Prepare: Import your STL, OBJ, or 3MF file into free PreForm software. Supports are generated automatically and are designed for light-touch removal.
- Print: Send the job over Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or USB. Form Studio 1 automatically heats and dispenses resin and monitors every layer.
- Wash: Move the build platform straight into Form Studio Wash+Cure. Parts are cleaned, then you lift them out of the solvent to dry.
- Cure: Drop in the turntable and cure parts under 405 nm light for final strength and durability.
The Need For Speed.
Say Goodbye to FDM- Production Quality Parts Manufactured in Less Than a Few Hours
Backlight LEDs
A custom lens array and 28 LEDs produce a uniform, highly collimated light field. The delivers 6mW/cm² at the print plane and cures the resin quickly, evenly, and accurately.
Release Texture
A textured lens array allows air to flow between the Light Processing Unit (LPU) and the film, reducing suction forces and increasing print speed.
Resin Tank
A durable and highly oxygen-permeable film creates a thin inhibition zone where the resin stays uncured. This increases speed and reduced supports.
A Safer Work Space Begins with the Formlabs Form Studio 1
The World's First and Only Resin 3D Printer to be UL GREENGUARD Gold Certified for low chemical emissions.
Cytotoxicity Testing
Formlabs Alpha Resins are Certified for long-term skin contact when printed on Form Studio 1 and following Formlabs’ recommended post-processing guidelines, in accordance with ISO 10993. Formlabs ran industry-standard cytotoxicity tests on resin 3D printed parts. The control shows a healthy untreated culture. Cells exposed to parts printed in Alpha Grey Resin remain alive and healthy. Cells exposed to a part printed in a third-party resin were nearly all killed.
VOC Testing
Alpha Resins emit few VOCs, creating a safer, more pleasant print environment—for schools, home and office.
The picture experiment measures VOC emissions in a sealed chamber over two hours. A competing printer and resin produced high VOC levels. Form Studio 1 with Alpha Resins produced far lower levels, the result of carefully vetted ingredients and upgraded air handling. In a third test, we added VOC Extractor, and levels were barely above baseline.
Formlabs Resins are ACMO Free
Alpha Resins contain no chemicals with known acute toxicity or known long-term effects on organ or reproductive health.
Many manufacturers use ACMO (acryloylmorpholine) in their resins because it's inexpensive, but it carries significant health hazards, including VOC exposure and rapid skin sensitisation. The EPA restricts its use and requires protective measures such as specialised gloves, along with ventilation or respirators where feasible, to prevent inhalation of ACMO vapors.
Formlabs resins are free of ACMO, manufactured and tested put through comprehensive quality control. Every resin ships with a full safety data sheet, so you always know exactly what you're working with.

What Does "UL GREENGUARD Certified" Mean?
Paired with the Formlabs VOC Extractor filtration add-on, the Formlabs Form Studio 1 printing system using Alpha Resins V1 is the world's first resin 3D printing ecosystem to achieve UL GREENGUARD Gold Certification for indoor air quality under the UL 2819 standard.
A UL GREENGUARD Certificate GOLD is an official verification issued by UL Solutions that proves a product meets strict, science-based limits for low chemical and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions into indoor air.
Indoor air pollution and children's health
Children are especially at risk of the health effects of poor indoor air quality because their immune and neurological systems are still developing. In order to protect children's health, it is vital to limit their exposure to chemicals in homes, schools and other indoor environments.
UL GREENGUARD Gold Certified Bundle
