Formlabs introduced the first desktop resin 3D printer in 2012 with the launch of the original Form 1 on Kickstarter. The Form 1+ came soon after, with refined components. Among others, these included a faster and more powerful laser for curing liquid resin through the stereolithography additive manufacturing process. The resulting prints that come off of the Form 1+ have consistently been among the highest quality objects to come off of any desktop 3D printer.
