MIT spinout Formlabs brings high-resolution, low-cost 3-D
printing to makers, engineers and designers.
Against the backdrop of today’s burgeoning 3-D printing
landscape — with an ever-increasing number of machines popping up — MIT Media
Lab spinout Formlabs has carved out a precise niche.
Combining a highly accurate (but usually expensive)
light-based printing technique with engineering ingenuity, the Formlabs team
invented a high-resolution 3-D laser printer, called the Form 1, that’s viewed
as an affordable option for professional users.
