@freeflysystems builds the world's toughest industrial drones for the harshest conditions. Behind their innovation is Formlabs SLS 3D printing on the Fuse Ecosystem, turning CAD designs into test flights in less than a day. Check out the full story here at the link in our bio!

3D printing enables engineers to prototype metal parts and iterate tool designs in a matter of hours, achieving complex geometries while reducing reliance on outsourced providers.

Soft robotics was out of the question until @⁨itsonmym started using Form 4 and Silicone 40A resin. FDM filaments can flex, but can't pressure-seal making pneumatically actuated soft robotic parts impossible. His next step is to integrate the tentacle and the gripper together into one soft robot.

Behind every reliable part of the Form 4 3D Printer, there are thousands of hours of hidden engineering. This custom pneumatic rig, for example, is the Form 4 Mixer Latch Cycle Tester—built to open and close the mixer latch thousands of times to ensure ultimate long-term reliability. 🛠️🤖

If you haven't heard, Valve released the Steam Controller CAD so that people can design their own mods and accessories for it. And if you don't have a 3D printer yourself, or want to try some more industrial-quality materials, you can get them printed through a service like Form Now.

I designed this hand stand to hold the controller and in 2 days, had it printed and delivered with Form Now.

From prototyping to end-use parts. All on the same machine. SLS printing combines industrial-grade materials with the design freedom engineers need to create complex products with fewer manufacturing limitations.

The team at Palladion Systems developed a print-in-place counter-UAV system manufactured as a single build with deployable arms integrated directly into the design.

Manufactured on the Formlabs Fuse Series, this approach reduces assembly, speeds up iteration, and enables scalable production.

What 3D printed material is the strongest? We put Formlabs 3D printed brackets head to head to see how they would withstand increasingly heavy weights. In this test we used Grey, Clear, Biomed Durable, Rigid 10k, Rigid 4k, and our new family of Tough Resins [Tough 1000, Tough 1500, Tough 2000].

What test should we run next?

3D printing is a science and an art. These designs came to life using Formlabs 3D printers - SLS Nylon 12 high heels for Lady Gaga, Custom Color Resin bowtie, SLA printed handbag, and sterling silver gauges patterned using True Cast Resin.

Happy May the 4th! ⚔️✨ Actually, I forgot until a few days ago, so I ordered this 3D printed lightsaber in Nylon 12 SLS powder from Form Now, and it showed up at my door in 2 days, right on time for Star Wars Day.

That’s the magic of Form Now. You upload your file, pick from 28+ industrial-grade materials, and we print, post-process, and ship it out in as little as 2 days from our print farm in Massachusetts. Because we operate in the US and use our Formlabs SLA & SLS ecosystems, anyone can now order a single custom 3D printed part (or thousands!) as easy as buying something online, both in price and speed.

May the 4th be with you. 🌌

Formlabs TPU 90A Powder is a tough elastomer with high elongation at break and tear resistance, making it ideal for flexible, resilient, and skin-safe prototypes as well as end-use parts.

In this video, we also tested the VX1 from DyeMansion for chemical smoothing to further refine the typical SLS surface finish.
