100+ engineers spent 3+ years designing, building, testing, failing, iterating, and eventually triumphantly succeeding with a reliable, FAST printer that produces beautiful, functional parts. Go behind the scenes with more of our engineers -- Brian Smith, Rebecca Celsi, Maya Calabria, Vince Thornberg, and Sungsik (Samuel) Woo -- to see what it took to develop Form 4. Here, you'll also see a great conversation Quint Crispin of Quint BUILDS had with Form 4 Technical Program Manager Cole Durbin and Rebecca. https://lnkd.in/e3YZdWEc

Watch Sam Rogers (@jettisam) test a vortex-cooled rocket engine, where 3D printed resin parts demonstrate their resilience under extreme conditions. With transparent parts printed in Formlabs Clear Resin, you can see the combustion taking place inside the chamber, showing how these materials withstand high temperatures, which is something you cannot achieve with FDM 3D printed parts. Watch the full video on his YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/eCu3m-iD

These are surgical training models from The Mayo Clinic, made with 3D printed molds on Formlabs printers. They're EMG Ocular Anatomy Training Models made to enhance the visibility of the orbital space for a technique involving the insertion of 25mm electrode needles to monitor cranial nerves during brain tumor resection surgery. These models assist Dr. Hoffman and Dr. Oishi in demonstrating, advocating for, and training others in this specialized technique.
