Formlabs Releases New Entry-Level Resin 3D Printer
Professional resin 3D printer manufacturer Formlabs has introduced a new desktop model, Form Studio 1, starting at 699 dollars.
A New Step into the Consumer Market
In October, Formlabs announced the release of its new desktop model, Form Studio 1, with a starting price of 699 dollars. This marks the first time the manufacturer, known for professional-grade resin 3D printers, has lowered its pricing into the consumer market segment.
Target Audience for the New Printer
The device is aimed at several user groups:
- hobbyists and enthusiasts;
- small businesses;
- educators;
- beginners new to 3D printing.
What This Means in Practice
Expansion of accessible hardware by established companies shapes the broader 3D printing landscape. Whether you use resin machines or FDM printers from brands like Bambu Lab, Prusa, or Creality, market shifts generally push for broader availability.
When printing with filaments such as those from Queen Print, standard maker practices remain essential: keep hygroscopic materials dry and properly calibrate your first layer to ensure reliable results.
