Formlabs Form 4B Features
Low Force Display Printing
Form 4B's speed is driven by Formlabs' new Low Force Display™ Print Engine, a powerful combination of ultra-high power LEDs, collimating lenses, optical filters, and a robust liquid crystal display.
Together they cure each layer of resin rapidly - regardless of part size or quantity. With tight tolerances, parts printed in every resin on Form 4B will match your design parameters, every time.
Variety of Materials to Suit any Need
Form 4B combines a new print engine with updates to the Formlabs materials library with 37 materials available for Form 4B at launch — as well as new accessories and post-processing solutions, and an improved user experience.
These updates reaffirm that Formlabs’ resin 3D printing ecosystem is the most powerful tool available for any professional to turn their ideas into reality.
Unmatched control and reliability
Six control systems precisely measure and maintain the temperature, resin level, print forces, and print status inside your printer.
The printer features robust hardware that was engineered for years of use. Tank rated for >75,000 layers for all materials. Light Processing Unit rated for >750,000 layers.

Formlabs Form 4B Accessories
Form 4 Resin Tank
Low Force Display (LFD)™ 3D printing uses a flexible yet strong dual-layer film tank for consistent, high-quality prints. Every resin tank includes a reusable lid, making it easy to stack tanks and store resin outside of the machine.
With a separate tank for each individual resin color or type, switching materials is as easy as sliding in a new tank.
Form 4 Build Platform
Form 4 Build Platform has a durable aluminum surface. A spare Build Platform can speed up your workflow and allow for nonstop printing, whether you're changing resins or starting a new print while you remove your part.
