Professional resin printing for anyone

Form Studio 1 is the first affordable, professional-grade resin 3D printer with a powerful, long-lasting print engine and an open platform. Print most parts in under two hours with razor-sharp detail and a workflow that is safe, reliable, and mess-free from start to finish. Paired with Alpha Resins and the Formlabs VOC Extractor, Form Studio 1 is the first and only resin printer with UL GREENGUARD Gold certification for low chemical emissions.

  • Blazing fast — print most parts in under 2 hours, with a maximum print speed of 130 mm/hr.
  • Safe — low-odor, rigorously tested, and UL GREENGUARD Gold certified when printing Alpha Resins with the VOC Extractor.
  • Amazing parts — razor-sharp details and premium materials, with ±0.15% XY tolerance so assemblies fit together as designed.
  • Reliable — 98% print success, with validated settings for every material and intelligent control systems monitoring each print.
  • Open — print with any resin. Open Material Mode is included at no extra cost.

Engineered for speed

Most prints finish in under two hours. A custom lens array and 28 LEDs deliver a uniform, highly collimated 6 mW/cm² light field that cures resin quickly and evenly. Release Texture V2 and a flexible film tank reduce peel forces for faster printing without compromising surface finish or fine detail. Alpha Fast Resin prints at up to 130 mm/hr — print the entire build volume in less than two hours.

A resin printer that is safe to use wherever you work

Office, home, studio, workshop — low-odor Alpha Resins are the first 3D printing materials to achieve UL GREENGUARD Gold, certifying low VOC emissions for the printing process when printed on Form Studio 1 with the VOC Extractor. Liquid resin scores as a non-skin irritant under OECD 439, and post-processed parts meet ISO 10993 requirements for long-term skin contact, making them suitable for wearables.

  • Low VOC emissions — UL GREENGUARD Gold* certified, an independent standard for homes, offices, schools, and other indoor environments.
  • Skin-safe parts — Alpha Resins are certified to ISO 10993 for long-term (>30 days) skin contact when printed on Form Studio 1 and post-processed per Formlabs guidelines.
  • Minimized risk — liquid resin scored as a non-skin irritant according to OECD 439.

Print amazing parts

35 µm pixels and finely tuned anti-aliasing capture subpixel detail, while lower peel forces and light-touch supports leave smooth, clean surfaces. Every material setting is calibrated for dimensional accuracy, holding ±0.15% XY tolerance so assemblies fit together as designed.

Unmatched reliability

Every material comes with validated print settings, tuned on hundreds of test parts. During each print, intelligent control systems monitor resin temperature, resin level, print forces, and leveling, and an integrated camera shows progress remotely in the Form Mobile App.


Print with any resin

Start with validated Formlabs resins for reliable results out of the box, or branch out to third-party resins with no license fee — Open Material Mode ships included on every Form Studio 1. Third-party resins and Tough 1500 Resin V2 print in the Form Studio 1 Resin Tank Pro (sold separately).


Learn to print in 10 minutes

  1. Select a material — load a validated Formlabs resin cartridge and print with settings tuned for that material.
  2. File setup — import your model into free PreForm software and set up your print with one click, or orient and add supports yourself. Real-time printability checks flag issues before you hit print.
  3. Print — insert a cartridge, tank, and build platform; automatic resin dispensing handles the rest. Start, queue, or track prints remotely from the Form Mobile App or Dashboard.
  4. Wash — wash parts on or off the build platform in the Form Studio Wash+Cure. A quick flex of the Build Platform Flex pops parts free with no scraping.
  5. Cure — remove light-touch supports by hand, then cure parts to their final mechanical properties, ready to use as is or to sand, coat, and paint.

Get the Quality Filament You Need

Nothing will impact your 3D printing results like the kind of filament you use. Good filament is highly consistent in diameter, is wound evenly onto the spool with just the right amount of tension, and will not tangle when being unwound. 3D Universe offers a wide range of high-quality filaments to choose from.
