Formlabs is pleased to announce Color Kit, the first integrated color mixing solution for stereolithography 3D printing.

Using Color Kit, anyone can mix their own Color Resin and create uniformly colored 3D prints with the high resolution and smooth surface finish SLA technology is known for.

For looks-like prototypes, concept models, and others parts where aesthetic is top priority, Color Kit enables you to print many models in one consistent color, right off the printer, without the additional work of finishing and painting.

Choose Color Resin for matte, opaque parts straight off the printer, or paint another material when your needs are a bit more complex. Color Kit and painting techniques can be used together if your models would benefit from a colored base.

Today, physical maquettes and practical effects have largely fallen out of vogue in Hollywood, but not for lack of interest. Tight deadlines, tighter budgets, and increasing demands have mostly rendered these techniques infeasible.

When the Duffer Brothers began production of “Stranger Things” for Netflix, they came to up-and-coming studio Aaron Sims Creative for the creature designs for the Demogorgon. And striving for authentic ‘80s sci-fi nostalgia, they did something that’s increasingly rare in 2017’s Hollywood: they asked for a practical effect.

In celebration of the release of “Stranger Things” season 2, Formlabs take a behind-the-scenes look at the design of season 1's Demogorgon and how the up-and-coming visual effects company behind the monster, Aaron Sims Creative, structures their sketch-to-screen process, goes beyond manufacturing creatures and helps influence the entire creative process, and uses digital technology like 3D printing to keep traditional Hollywood techniques alive.

Filmmaker Gilles-Alexandre Deschaud spent two years creating the stop-motion animation film, Chase Me, from 2,500 3D-printed pieces. To find out more, visit the film’s website at http://chasemefilm.com

Engineered for precision, designed for reliability. Take a deep dive into the features of the Form 2, the most advanced desktop 3D printer ever created. Learn more: http://formlabs.com/products/3d-print...



"We asked ourselves, how could we create the most powerful, most reliable 3D printer designed for the desktop.

Introducing, The Form 2 high-resolution 3D printer.

It starts at the heart of the machine, the optical engine.

A high powered laser is guided by custom galvanometers creating each layer with exceptional detail.

A sliding peel mechanism gently removes the part from the print bed, while a wiper glides across the optical window.

A responsive heating system warms the resin to a consistent temperature.

This creates a reliable print process, producing beautiful parts without sacrificing speed.

It features a 40% larger build volume and a new smart resin system that automatically refills the tank when levels are low.

To make printing simple, we’ve added wireless connectivity and a touch screen display.

Now you can upload over wifi, manage your queue, and receive notifications when your print’s complete.

All this has been designed together to work with our world-class software and cutting edge materials to deliver professional results.

The Form 2, the most advanced desktop 3D printer ever created."
