Why Choose Finishing Tools

Parts printed on Formlabs automated printers are smooth and look great straight out of the printer. Formlabs is constantly improving its equipment and cares about the high quality of the prints. The latest Formlabs photopolymer printers feature Light-Touch Supports technology that is easy to remove without extra effort and leaves minimal marks on the surface of the printed parts.

However, in case of prints with complex shape, with holes, internal surfaces, etc. - there is a need to use additional tools to bring the appearance of the part to an ideal state.

That's where this Formlabs Finishing Tools comes in handy. Here are some great and handy sets of post-processing solutions for SLA 3D printing: support removal, sanding, polishing and glossing.
