Formlabs Form 3L Build Platform

The Form 3L Build Platform is a swappable part, so while one is out of action, you can use another to keep on printing. In other words, having more than one Build Platform enables you to maximise uptime and print more stuff. 

The Form 3L Build Platform itself is simple to buy - it’s only available in one specification, which is suitable for printing with all Formlabs resins.

It’s also easy to swap out - just slot the new Build Platform into place and make sure it’s lined up with no errors. You can then go ahead and insert a new resin cartridge if needed. If it isn’t, the Form 3L maintains a stable resin temperature between print jobs so you can start another print job immediately. 

We recommend two build platforms if you want to run your Form 3L constantly. We also recommend you replace one build platform if you scratch or damage the surface 3D prints come into contact with. The build platform should always be kept clean and free from cured resin to avoid unnecessary scraping. 

The tank features a strong dual-layer film at the bottom of the tank to allow for a dynamic and precise print process, scaled up for large format printing.

Build platforms are relatively inexpensive pieces of kit to replace. You can buy yours from us with confidence. We’re an official Formlabs partner.
