Large-batch dental workflow
Form 3BL scales the Form 3B approach with two optical units and a larger platform. The launch examples describe dental production under specified resin, layer and packing conditions; they are not universal daily throughput.
Post-processing and material validation
The introduction requires Form Wash and Form Cure for the named biocompatible workflows. Dental indications must use the validated material and its instructions for use. A larger platform does not eliminate washing, curing or final inspection.
Introduced in 2020.
Announced September 9, 2020. No separate first-shipment date is established here.

Read this with the specifications
Current support lists new and factory-reconditioned Form 3BL while stock lasts through 2026. Launch article specifies 335 × 200 × 300 mm; current support specifies 335 × 200 × 320 mm. Build is null pending resolution. The predecessor link is a larger-format branch from Form 3B, not a claim that it replaced the compact printer.
A larger nominal envelope does not establish better print quality. Fit depends on the configuration, usable area, supports, and orientation.
