It’s been my privilege to do teardowns on both the Formlabs Form 1 and Form 2. With the recent release of the Form 3, I was asked by Formlabs if I wanted to do another teardown, and of course I jumped on the opportunity. I always learn an immense amount while taking apart their machines, and it’s also been very satisfying to watch their engineering team grow and mature over the years.
this is pretty interesting from a reverse engineering perspective, and i applaud formlabs for their nice printers… but: this is still creating gimmicky plastic prints, rather than much more interesting materials.
