Formlabs Launches Form Studio 1 Resin 3D Printer with GREENGUARD Certification
Written with artificial intelligence.
Formlabs has introduced the Form Studio 1, the first resin 3D printer in its category to receive UL GREENGUARD Gold Certification for indoor air quality. Priced at $699, it features a fully enclosed chamber and is designed to minimize volatile organic compound emissions, making it suitable for indoor use.
Introduction of Form Studio 1
Formlabs has officially launched the Form Studio 1, a resin 3D printer that stands out for being the first in its category to achieve UL GREENGUARD Gold Certification, indicating a commitment to indoor air quality. This innovation aims to address concerns about the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) commonly associated with resin printing.
Key Features and Specifications
The Form Studio 1 utilizes a fully enclosed chamber and low-odor resin formulations, which make it viable for indoor use without additional ventilation setups. When paired with Formlabs’ VOC Extractor, the printer reportedly reduces total VOC emissions below 220 µg/m³, adhering to the UL 2819 standard. Notably, the printer is designed for ease of use, allowing users to focus on creating rather than troubleshooting.
- Print Engine: Low Force Display technology with a custom lens array and 28 LEDs.
- Pixel Resolution: 35 µm with anti-aliasing for detailed output.
- Print Success Rate: Claimed at 98%, though conditions for this rate are not specified.
- Typical Job Duration: Most prints complete in under two hours.
Resin Options and Companion Hardware
The launch includes six Alpha resin formulations available in various colors, all compliant with ISO 10993 for safety in long-term skin contact. Additionally, the Form Studio ecosystem is enhanced by the Form Studio Wash+Cure for post-processing tasks and a new mobile app for remote monitoring.
Pricing and Availability
The Form Studio 1 is currently available for order at a price of $699, with expected global shipments starting on November 16, 2026. Alpha Resins begin at $29 per liter, with a special Founder’s Edition available until November 30, 2026, or while supplies last.
