R&D Tour: The engineering behind SLA/SLS Printers

Video Description

Ever wonder what goes into manufacturing 3D printers? I had a chance to tour Formlabs and got to poke around all of their departments. Manufacturing, material properties, setting optimization, chemistry, even a small biosafety lab! I was surprised how much Formlabs does inhouse, and came away from the tour really impressed with their operation. Had a chance to talk to a lot of really smart folks and ask about their work. Hope you find this interesting!
