Formlabs Form 3 Resin Tank V2.1

Formlabs Form 3 Resin Tank V2.1

The Formlabs Form 3 Resin Tank V2.1 is a key component of the Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) printing system used in the Form 3 series. It features a durable dual-layer flexible film at the bottom of the tank that works with the LFS process to reduce forces during layer separation. This enables reliable printing of complex geometries, smooth surface finishes, and highly detailed parts.

This resin tank is designed for use with the Formlabs Form 3, Form 3+, Form 3B, and Form 3B+. The V2.1 version is compatible with the full range of Formlabs resins supported by the Form 3 ecosystem and is commonly used for both standard and high-performance materials.

Why choose the Form 3 Resin Tank V2.1?

The flexible film design is a core element of the LFS printing process, helping deliver consistent and high-quality 3D prints.

• Reduced print forces: the flexible film works with the LFS process to minimise forces during layer separation, supporting delicate features and intricate geometries.
• Wide material compatibility: validated for use with the broad Formlabs resin library for the Form 3 series, including standard, engineering, dental, and biocompatible materials.
• Durable construction: engineered to maintain consistent optical performance during regular printing workflows.
• Reliable print quality: maintains optical clarity to ensure accurate laser transmission and consistent part results.

Maintenance and usage

Proper care of your resin tank helps maintain print quality and extend its service life.

• Dedicated tanks: using one tank per resin type can help prevent cross-contamination and simplify material changes.
• Resin mixer: ensure the Form 3 resin mixer is correctly installed in the tank to keep the resin evenly mixed during printing.
• Inspection: regularly check the film for debris, clouding, or damage and clean it only with approved tools or a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Storage: store the tank with its lid attached and keep it in the original box when not in use to protect it from dust and light exposure.

Compatibility

• Printers: Formlabs Form 3, Form 3+, Form 3B, and Form 3B+
• Resins: compatible with Formlabs resins supported by the Form 3 series

Note: Not compatible with Formlabs Form 2 or Form 4 series printers.
