In addition to being able to print larger objects, the Form 4L and 4BL printers can also be used to print thousands of smaller parts per day due to their speed. The company's new cartridge design helps speeds things up by dispensing resin faster, in addition to reducing plastic waste by 63 percent compared to the previous design. As with the smaller machines, the "B" in Form 4BL's name stands for "biocompatible," because it can be used to print materials for medical applications. Of course, a larger form factor also means a higher price: The Form 4L sells for $9,999, whereas the original Form 4 is priced at $4,499. Formlabs has also introduced its developer platform, which will give users the ability to use any licensed material they want with no restrictions, as well as to tweak their printer's settings to their liking and connect it to any software they might need. Members will also get access to lower material pricing and to bulk pricing for big production projects.
