Model notes · 01

Hardware revision

Form 1+ revised the laser, galvanometer control and mechanical components of Form 1. The announcement reports faster printing, but does not establish a single production rate for all resins and geometries.

Model notes · 02

Managing resins and supports

The redesigned tank and lid were intended to make multiple-resin storage easier. PreForm 1.5, released alongside the printer, introduced manual support controls. This is historical software context, not a claim that the original release is suitable for current computers.

A place in the lineage

Introduced in 2014.

Announced June 10, 2014; no exact first-shipment date was established in this audit.
