Formlabs launches the Resin Pumping System and two new materials, Polypropylene Powder and Premium Teeth Resin, to increase the efficiency and scalability of its 3D printing ecosystem, the company reports. Formlabs displayed its full ecosystem and these new solutions at CES booth #54221.

Formlabs’ ecosystem includes SLA and SLS 3D printers and more than 45 materials used in-house for prototyping and product design, easing supply chain challenges, producing end-use parts, rapid tooling and more, the company reports. Resin Pumping System is Formlabs’ response to increased 3D printing production, designed for unattended printing while lowering cost per part and waste.

“3D printing production is steadily increasing, and the introduction of Resin Pumping System, Polypropylene Powder, and Premium Teeth Resin are three big steps in our mission to provide professionals with a full ecosystem of the tools they need to bring their ideas to life,” says Formlabs Chief Product Officer Dávid Lakatos.

Resin Pumping System

An accessory for the Form 3 and Form 3L printers, Resin Pumping System is a plug-and-play replacement for standard 1-liter cartridges that delivers 5 liters of resin directly to the printer’s resin tank for continuous printing for longer.

The Resin Pumping System operates with 5-L containers of select materials with an initial discount of at least 10% compared to 1-L cartridges. Resin Pumping System is $199 and is currently available.

Polypropylene Powder

Polypropylene is the second-most widely produced commodity plastic in the world, commonly used for its low-density, lightweight and chemically resistant properties for consumer products, packaging, automotive parts and more. Polypropylene Powder will expand the SLS portfolio, enabling users to print products commonly made of polypropylene, such as home appliances, electronics, sports equipment, custom lab equipment, prototypes, manufacturing tools, and more. Polypropylene Powder is currently available.

Premium Teeth Resin

Premium Teeth Resin will support 3D printed denture teeth and temporary full-arch implant-supported restorations (All-on-X) with life-like aesthetics and simplified workflows, Formlabs reports. 

Premium Teeth Resin is nano-ceramic filled FDA registered Class II biocompatible material with validated longevity that guarantees optimal clinical performance while balancing natural-looking aesthetics. It can be customized to each patient’s anatomy, mimicking natural teeth translucency and opalescence for customizable digital dentures as well as temporary implant-supported restorations.

Resin Pumping System, Polypropylene Powder, and Premium Teeth Resin debuted at CES 2024.
