Build Platform 2 Quick release (FormLabs)

The Build Platform is the base where SLA 3D printing is carried out. A well-maintained build platform is essential to achieve an optimal result.

The FormLabs Fabrication Platform 2, also known as Quick release, features a patented FormLabs technology that allows the 3D printed parts to be removed from the build surface quickly and easily.

This build platform is compatible with Formlabs Form 2, Form 3, Form 3B, Form 3+ and Form 3B+ SLA technology 3D printers.

The Fabrication Platform 2 (Quick release) features a tear-proof stainless steel printing surface, which ensures high strength and long-term durability and broad compatibility with different materials.

Due to its features and easy removal system, this build platform is ideal for the production of parts directly on the build platform (without supports), for the production of batch parts or for the 3D printing of robust, rigid and large parts.
