Formlabs Studio 1 $699 Resin Printer

Form Studio 1 is an affordable, professional-grade resin 3D printer using masked stereolithography (MSLA), aimed at producing detailed parts quickly and with a streamlined workflow. Its build volume is 20 × 12.5 × 23.5 cm (5.9 liters), and the manufacturer says most parts can print in under two hours. The printer supports nine Formlabs materials as well as third-party resins through included Open Material Mode. The listing offers a $699 base package with the printer, resin tank, and standard build platform; Founders Edition options cost more and add limited-run colors and extras. A flexible build platform is also available to make removing parts easier.

Resin prints need washing and curing after printing, so buyers can add a compact combined Wash+Cure unit or separate professional wash and cure machines. Other optional equipment includes a VOC extractor, which uses replaceable carbon filters to reduce emissions; UL GREENGUARD certification applies when the printer is used with the extractor and Alpha Resins. Alpha materials include a fast resin advertised at speeds up to 130 mm per hour, plus a model resin designed for fine detail and a matte finish. The product range also includes accessories, service plans, and wash supplies. The core trade-off is that the low entry price covers the printer and basic components, while post-processing equipment and additional materials can increase the total cost.
