"Prototyping Lab" is not in the list (Computer Lab, Finishing Room, Machine Shop, Meeting Rooms, PCB Lab, Prototype Lab, The Hub, The Vault, Tool Room, Welding Shop, ...) of allowed values for the "Is located in facility" property.
The Form 2 is Formlab's 3rd generation printer boasting a whole range of new features including a new peeling mechanism, heated tank, touchscreen display, wireless controls and an automated resin system. The resulting prints that come off of the Form 2 have consistently been among the highest quality objects to come off of any desktop 3D printer. This machine is best used with the Form Wash and Cure [1]

- SLA Printing
- The Form 2 is an SLA Printer. Stereolithography, SLA, is a part of the manufacturing technology of vat polymerization. This means a light source (laser) is used to cure liquid resin into a hard plastic.
- The Form 2 utilizes the Upside Down or Inverted orientation.
- The resin tank has a clear bottom with a surface the resin will not stick to. This allows the resin to cure against the bottom of the tank.
- The build platform is lowered into the tank.
