Formlabs Finishing Tools

Achieve a Flawless Surface Finish

Transform raw Stereolithography (SLA) prints into consumer-ready products with the Formlabs Finishing Tools — a comprehensive solution designed to optimise your entire post-processing workflow. Whether you are removing stubborn supports or polishing surfaces to a high gloss, this curated kit significantly reduces manual working time, ensuring professional, consistent results with every print.

Why Integrate the Formlabs Finishing Tools into Your Laboratory?

Achieving a perfect finish on Stereolithography (SLA) parts often demands more than standard sandpaper. This kit addresses the specific challenges of resin-based printing, offering a validated ecosystem trusted by experienced engineers. Using the ergonomic sanding pen and specialised rotary tools, you can smooth flat surfaces and define sharp edges without altering the dimensional accuracy of the part. This is critical for engineering prototypes where tolerances are tight and fit is essential.

Versatility Across Industries

The usefulness of these tools extends well beyond general prototyping. Dental technicians rely on the precision of the included rotary tool to remove support remnants from aligner models without damaging gingival margins. Equally, in the jewellery sector, the ability to buff and polish intricate castable wax patterns ensures the final metal casting is free from surface artefacts. The Formlabs Finishing Tools turn a tedious manual task into a fast, controlled process — reducing the effective cost per part by freeing up valuable operator time.

What's Included in the Kit?

This complete finishing solution contains everything needed to take a part from the build plate to a display-ready state:

• Ergonomic Sanding Pen: Delivers a uniform surface finish on flat planes and gently curved geometries.
• Rotary Tool: Effectively removes support marks and widens holes to exact specifications.
• Rotary Bit Kit (16 pieces): A selection of abrasive bits for grinding, sanding, and polishing intricate details.
• Polishing Bit Kit (12 pieces): Cloth and felt tips designed to create a smooth, even finish after the sanding phase.
• Flush Cutters: Heavy-duty cutters for cleanly snapping off support tips.
• Precision Knife and Blades: Enables surgical removal of fine support remnants and residue.
• Spray Bottle: Ideal for dispensing isopropyl alcohol (IPA) for cleaning, or mineral oil for surface polishing.
