Ready to disrupt with 3D Printing?

 
Unlocking the potential of 3D Printing’s impact has to be in collaboration with education and research institutions who have been at the forefront of innovation

Fracktal Works is seeking to collaborate on cutting-edge research and applications of 3D Printing and its impact on the modern world. With a decade of experience in additive manufacturing machines, materials and processes, we want to work with you to shape the next generation of innovators, from robotics to biomedicine, from materials sciences to fashion design.

 

 

3D Printing Research Focus Areas:​

The most creative, versatile doctors are the ones who change the world, one patient at a time. Formlabs offers an end-to-end 3D printing solution for any anatomy that comes in the door, with a wide variety of materials and applications available on a single 3D printer, the Form 3B. Our technology has been validated in FDA-cleared workflows and we develop and manufacture our own materials.

Unlock the power of 3D Printing for Academic Research

Education and research institutions have always been at the forefront of innovation, and 3D printing is no exception.  

Elevate academic research and unleash creativity with the transformative power of 3D printing for research & education, empowering students and researchers to bring their ideas to life. 

Work with us to shape the next generation of innovators, from robotics to biomedicine, from materials sciences to fashion design.

Creative Solutions at the Point of Care

Formlabs brings digital fabrication in-house so you can take action right away. Because our 3D printers integrate seamlessly with the tools you’re already using, it’s easy to get in on the next wave of medical 3D printing and help set the standard of care now.

step 1

Scan the patient’s anatomy

Collect unique patient data via CT or MRI scan, depending on the tissue, to obtain a DICOM file.

step 2

Segment the digital image

Turn your scan into a 3D printable model. Review the case, segment the digital image, and export an STL or OBJ file of the anatomical part.

step 3

Print your model

Upload your file to our intuitive print preparation software, PreForm, set up your print in a single click, and send it to the Form 3B. Produce high-quality parts without any specialized training.

step 4

Post-processing, simplified

Stereolithography 3D prints require support removal, rinsing, and post-curing. We’ve made every step of the process as easy as possible, with light-touch supports and our automated post-processing system, Form Wash and Form Cure.

What Our Customers Say

What looked like a small patch of purple grass, above five feet square, was moving across the sand in their direction. When it came near enough he perceived that it was not grass; there were no blades, but only purple roots. The roots were revolving.

Apparently we had reached a great height in the atmosphere, for the sky was a dead black, and the stars had ceased to twinkle. By the same illusion which lifts the horizon of the sea to the level of the spectator.

Sky was a dead black, and the stars had ceased to twinkle. By the same illusion which lifts the horizon of the sea to the level of the spectator on a hillside, the sable cloud beneath was dished out, and the car seemed.
