Formlabs launches its first flame retardant resin

▤ Summary

With the FR Resin, users should be able to create stiff, creep-resistant, and functional plastic parts that perform well in high-temperature environments. Formlabs said the material was formulated for producing interior parts for airplanes, automobiles, and railways, protective and internal consumer electronics components, and custom jigs, fixtures, and replacement parts for industrial environments. Formlabs has also launched its new Build Platform 2L with Quick Release TechnologyTM, which should enable Form 3L/3BL users to efficiently produce large parts with the same post-processing efficiency as Form 3/B/+ users. “We are excited to deliver new options our users have been asking for, while expanding production possibilities for customers in new industries,” said Formlabs CPO Dávid Lakatos. “With the Build Platform 2L, we are enabling Form 3L and 3BL users to print in ways they weren’t able to before, and with our first-ever Flame Retardant Resin, we are opening up 3D printing to industries such as aviation and transportation that must adhere to product regulations and certifications for flame retardancy.
