Unlock deeper Additive Manufacturing knowledge with our shared insights, know-how, tips and deep-dive info
Curious minds never stop learning. In our Advanced Learning section, we share the insights, know-how and hands-on experiments that push Additive Manufacturing forward. From design tips and practical troubleshooting to deep dives into materials and processes, we bring you practical knowledge to level up your AM understanding and apply it in the real world.
Contact our AM experts, we can help guide and support you with your application and projects.
Unlock deeper AM knowledge through our blog articles, where we share experiments, applications, DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) tips, and advanced troubleshooting insights. From materials testing to workflow optimisation, these blogs are built to give you practical takeaways you can apply to your projects and help you get more from your AM investment. Whether you’re exploring how to redesign tooling for 3D printing, investigating materials for specific applications, or looking to enhance your in-house AM capability, our blogs will guide you with real-world examples and tested know-how.
Explore how we validate new materials on the Formlabs Form 4L, unlocking advanced properties for demanding applications
A Practical Example of DfAM in action, demonstrating how to dramatically reduce tooling costs
We show how to dye SLS parts to increase aethestics and functionality
How using Onyx only you can produce a wide range of factory floor tooling in hours at reduced costs
How to use 3D scanning with 3D printing to replace and repair broken parts to save costs
How to use 3D scanning combined with AM to produce bespoke bracketry for exact fit
See how we use 3D scanning and SLS printing for restoration, enabling a perfect fit without original drawings
Explore how we 3D printed a mould and cold-poured a non-platinum based silicone for EOAT
Prefer to learn by watching? Our short videos take you behind the scenes of our experiments, projects and advanced learning insights. See real workflows in action as we test materials, demonstrate printer capabilities, and share practical tips to improve your AM processes. From quick how-to guides to in-depth project breakdowns, these videos are designed to help you learn at your own pace and apply advanced AM knowledge directly to your work, whether you are running a single printer or a busy workshop.
See how Form 4L helps industrial designers and engineers move from concept to physical part, fast. Explore the full workflow, from job setup to post-processing, with same-day turnaround for large, high-quality models
Watch a walkthrough of Formlabs SLS system, from job setup to post-processing. See how easy it is to produce strong, functional parts in-house for prototyping to end-use
We walk through using the Markforged FX10, showing how easily you can get strong, industrial parts printed for use on your factory floor
Watch a print job on the Formlabs Form 4L that delivered 2025 small pegs in just 54 minutes. That’s 1.6 seconds per part
