The company is using the platform at its Orlando Innovation Campus (OIC), an R&D facility that is developing new technologies and solutions to address the evolving needs of the energy industry.
In addition, by printing directly to the platform without needed onsite support, users save on material costs and post-process their prints even faster.įor example, Formlabs user Siemens Energy has implemented the Build Platform 2L to print large parts, including molds and manufacturing aids, directly from the platform without onsite support. The Build Platform 2L enables users to more efficiently produce large parts with the same post-processing efficiency Form 3/B/+ users have enjoyed since the launch of the first Build Platform 2 last year, specifying the brand.Īccording to the new product’s description, thanks to its patented Quick Release Technology, users can easily and quickly remove large-format parts from the platform without tools in seconds.

It also allows for detailed, high-quality parts with a smooth finish that looks like they were made using injection molding but at a much lower cost. Ideal for making airplane, automobile, and railway interior parts, as well as electronic components and industrial parts, the material eliminates the need for expensive traditional manufacturing methods for making flame retardant parts, ascertains Formlabs.įurthermore, the company established that the resin is certified to have good flame, smoke, and toxicity ratings, which makes it a safe choice for many applications.
