best way to use the form labs printers

I like that it is easy to drag and drop models and orient them in PreForm. It is also easy to add support structures with the magic wand tool and visualize how the print will appear on the bed. It also allows for many different ways to customize the support structures and how the printer builds the layers. It also highlights areas where the build might fail, such as overhangs or intersecting models. There are many significant updates for the newest version, such as many more custom options for the rafts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't always find the support structures to be the best way to orient the part. Sometimes it makes the build take longer than necessary, and sometimes it can cause issues that cause the resin to spill out. It's not as automatic as it is supposed to be. There was an occasion when I was printing a spoon-like model and when it was nearly finished, the print would scoop up some of the resin and spill it out of the tray. It was a mess to clean up.

User-friendliness is great, and the auto-support features are handy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes I get a message that I can't print the current design for no visible reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The intuitive nature of how to use it. It is simple to connect to a printer and to send a job, and I enjoy being able to track the print remotely for it's progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The estimated time is always inaccurate. I always tack on a minimum of an additional 1 hour as the prints always take longer than anticipated by FormLabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how it works so well with preform printers. The multiple options available are time-saving as well as resource-saving which means we can print multiple pcs in a single batch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't think there is anything which I dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
its very simple to use, and there are plenty of options to maximize the performance from formlabs 3d printers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the time to print is quite long but i guess that is based on the performance of the printer and not directly linked to the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Preform is the best solution for using with formlabs printers. The overall user interface, the ability to print multiple models in the same batch, and the customization options are handy and pretty easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing much to dislike about it. I wish the speed could be increased slightly because it takes a while to print the 3d models but that's a limitation of the machine and not the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easy it is to use this software for FORMLABS printers. The jobs can be sent to the printer in a couple of minutes and multiple models can be printed at the same time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The speed of printing is bit slow, but I believe thats the ways all the 3D printers work these days Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the simplicity of this software, how we can easily print multiple dental models in a single batch. This is the prefect tool to be used with formlabs printers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I guess it takes a long time for the printing but its the way all 3d printers work I guess so not the software's fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
