Restrictions apply to this equipment as it uses button/coin cell batteries:

- The equipment is intended to be used in trades, professions or industries
- The equipment is not intended for sale to the general public
- The equipment is not intended to be used where children are present

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE11241:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE11241:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

All of the capability of a professional engineering-grade 3D stereolithography printer at a budget-conscious price. Perfect for Makers who want to print strong, accurate and highly detailed parts without waiting for parts to finish, messy machines and failed prints.

The Form Studio 1 can print much faster than other SLA 3D printers, with most parts completing in less than 2 hours\* with fine detail, and made from premium-grade materials. Resins have been specifically formulated with home and office use in mind; when combined with the new [Alpha resin family](https://core-electronics.com.au/3d-printers-australia/professional-machines/formlabs/form-studio-1/resins.html) and [the Formlabs VOC Extractor](https://core-electronics.com.au/formlabs-voc-extractor.html), the system claims the title for the first 3D SLA system on the market with UL GREENGUARD Gold certification, independently tested for low chemical emissions.

These new Alpha resin formulations (along with all other Formlabs resins) mean reliable print success and consistent material properties. But that doesn't mean you can't BYO resin with the Form Studio 1. Out of the box, each unit has "Open Material Mode" enabled, meaning any resin can be used.

- **Automatic Resin Handling:** hands-free, fast, and accurate, with minimal waste and easy, glove-free material swapping.
- **Intelligent Control Systems:** Five integrated systems that precisely control the temperature, resin level, print forces, and print status inside your printer.
- **Flexible Film Resin Tanks:** Two resin tanks are available, designed to reduce the forces exerted on parts during printing, each built for different priorities:
    
    
    - **[Form Studio 1 Resin Tank](https://core-electronics.com.au/formlabs-form-studio-1-resin-tank.html):** Optimised for speed and fine feature resolution. Compatible with all Alpha Resins, True Cast Resin, and Flexible 80A Resin V2. (Included)
    - **[Form Studio 1 Resin Tank Pro](https://core-electronics.com.au/formlabs-form-studio-1-resin-tank-pro.html):** Optimised for compatibility with a wide range of different resins. Compatible with Tough 1500 Resin V2, and required for any material used in Open Material Mode. (Purchased Separately)
- **Release Texture V2:** An updated proprietary microtextured optical film surrounded by perimeter channels that increase airflow and passively reduce the forces exerted on parts during printing.
- **Light Processing Unit Studio 1 (LPU S1):** Precisely masks light from the backlight unit into the shape of a printed layer.
- **Backlight Unit:** Generates a uniform area projection of an ultra-high-power light using 28 LEDs with a plano-convex lens array.
- **Mess-Free Workflow:**  Combine with [the Form Studio Wash+Cure](https://core-electronics.com.au/formlabs-form-studio-wash-cure.html) to make SLA parts at home easier, wash off resin, and cure it in one machine
