Finishing Tools

Since the days of the Form 1, customer feedback has been an essential element of the Formlabs product development process. Over the years, a common request surfaced time and time again for a designated set of tools that users could rely on for removing supports, polishing, buffing, and keeping their workspace clean and organized. Many customers found creative ways to fill this need, by sourcing tools from various manufacturers, or by utilizing household items they already owned. These sourced products were different for every business, in every industry, and some worked better than others.

Through extensive research, customer interviews, and our own testing, we came up with a set of tools that combine the best elements of the many solutions we heard our customers were using. Finishing Tools are able to streamline SLA workflows, making the post-processing steps faster, easier, and more organized. Bought as one set, Finishing Tools are more affordable than purchasing each tool individually, and they’ve been rigorously tested by our team and customers to prove their utility and efficacy. From a university makerspace lab helping students finish year-end projects to a medical device engineer looking to present a final prototype to a regulatory panel, Finishing Tools are an affordable, complete solution to help you make parts appear polished and indistinguishable from injection molded plastics.
