Formlabs has debuted its Form 3BL dental and medical 3D printer and begun shipments of its Form 3L flagship large-format printer.

Both printers mark the expansion of the firm's line of large-format stereolithography 3D printers to enable manufacturers and creators to print high-detail large-scale parts, according to the vendor. Available for preorder, Form 3BL is optimized for biocompatible materials for use in the dental and healthcare industries, Formlabs said. Shipments are expected to begin in October. Form 3L was initially announced in the spring of 2019.
