Form 1 3D Printer: Revolutionizing Desktop Manufacturing
A comprehensive review of the Form 1 3D printer campaign that brought professional SLA printing to the desktop.
Campaign Details
Rating
The Form 1 3D printer represented a breakthrough in desktop 3D printing technology, bringing professional-grade SLA (Stereolithography) printing to consumers at an affordable price point.
Innovation Highlights
The Form 1’s key innovation was its use of SLA technology, which produces much higher quality prints than traditional FDM printers. The laser-based curing process creates smooth surfaces and intricate details that were previously impossible on desktop machines.
Campaign Success
The campaign raised over $2.9 million, far exceeding its $100,000 goal. This demonstrated the strong demand for professional-quality 3D printing technology in the consumer market.
Impact on the Industry
The Form 1’s success inspired numerous competitors and helped establish SLA printing as a viable alternative to FDM for quality-conscious users. It set new standards for what desktop 3D printers could achieve.
