Formlabs kicked off its annual Formlabs User Summit, uniting customers, community members, and anyone curious to learn more about 3D printing. At the event, Formlabs introduced Finishing Tools, a new curated set of stereolithography (SLA) post-processing tools that streamlines the post-processing workflow, making it easier than ever to produce high quality parts.

Formlabs Finishing Tools remove the guesswork around which tools are needed to complete a project and accelerate post-processing and cleaning to quickly and easily produce high-quality parts.

The Finishing Tools bundle is available for $299 and includes:

• Ergonomic Pen Sander: Creates a uniform surface finish on flat and gently curved parts
• Rotary Tool: Removes support marks and enlarges holes
• Rotary Tool Bit Kit:
o Grinding + Polishing Bits (16 pieces): Grinds and sands parts
o Buffing Bits (12 pieces): Creates a uniform finish after grinding and sanding
• Flush Cutters: Removes support tips
• Hobby Knife and Blades: Precisely removes individual support tips
• Spray Bottle: Dispenses IPA or water to remove dust, or mineral oil to polish surfaces
• Microfiber Cloth: Cleans dust from sanded or polished parts
• Large Silicone Mat (16 x 24 in): Protects work surfaces throughout the finishing process

The Formlabs User Summit celebrates more than 100 million innovations printed on Formlabs 3D printers with sessions from thought leaders from NASA Goddard, Mayo Clinic, MIT, and other leading companies using Formlabs 3D printing solutions. Over the next two days, they’ll convene at the world’s largest 3D printing summit to discuss the positive impacts of their groundbreaking 3D printing applications. Advancements in aerospace, jewelry, medical, automotive, entertainment, and other industries are possible today because 3D printing has become more accessible and affordable; and Formlabs designed its Finishing Tools to be the next advancement that enables users to deliver high-quality parts faster than ever.
The Formlabs User Summit will continue through October 27.
