Formlabs redesigned 3D printer gets us one step closer to the Enterprise Replicator

Get the Full StoryThe Form 4 is modular, more precise, and five times faster than the previous generation

The dream of Star Trek s Enterprise replicator or at least my dream of printing my own Lego pieces is a tiny bit closer to reality thanks to the Form 4, the latest version of Formlab s popular compact 3D printer. The Form 4, which starts at 4,500 and is available today, promises to print objects up to 5 times faster than the previous generation depending on the material . And perhaps more importantly, the company claims that the Form 4-printed parts quality is indistinguishable from injection molding. This speed and quality combo pushes us close to the holy grail of 3D printing: the ability to produce high quality objects without ever leaving your desk.
