When Formlabs introduced Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) with the Form 3, they significantly improved traditional SLA with more reliable technology. LFS addressed the biggest engineering challenge with inverted stereolithography; the significant forces exerted on parts during printing. In traditional SLA, high peel forces make it difficult to remove intricate parts

SLA 3D printers use a UV laser to cure liquid resin into hardened plastic on the print bed, turning the liquid resin into a solid, three-dimensional model. The resin is made from photosensitive monomers and oligomers, combined in short chains, which turn into long chains with post-curing. There’s an enormous
