Product overview The Form 3B+ is a dental 3D printer designed for in‑house production of dental and related medical parts. Based on SLA (Low Force Stereolithography) technology, it supports a broad portfolio of validated biocompatible resins and integrates with a complete workflow for printing, washing and curing. Form 3B+ targets dental practices and laboratories seeking repeatable high-accuracy parts with minimal operator interaction.
Positioning The Form 3B+ is offered as a trusted desktop dental 3D printer for practices and labs. It provides a cost‑effective entry into validated dental workflows and integrates with Formlabs’ software and post-processing ecosystem. The model is succeeded by the Form 4B as the next-generation dental platform.
Key benefits - High precision — SLA-based prints with fine surface detail suitable for dental restorations and guides
- Validated materials — compatible with an extensive library of biocompatible resins for 10+ indications
- Efficient workflow — cartridge resin handling, calibration-free printing, and remote management
Included with Form 3B+ - Starter set: resin tank and Finish Kit
- Build Platform 2 with Quick Release
- Access to PreForm software and remote print/Dashboard features
- Optional onboarding training
Resin handling and consumables Cartridge-based resin dispensing minimizes spills and waste. The resin tank life extends up to four months under typical use. Form Wash and Form Cure are recommended for automated rinsing and post-curing to achieve consistent material properties.
Printer applications Typical applications include orthodontic models, crown & bridge models, occlusal splints, surgical guides, temporary restorations, permanent crowns, denture bases and teeth, and gingival masks. The printer integrates into clinical and lab workflows for both prototyping and low-volume end-use production.
