Produce Parts in Hours, Not Days
Produce models in hours, not days with the FabPro 1000. Compared to competing systems, the FabPro 1000 can create higher-quality parts with precision and smooth finish at up to three-times-faster high-throughput print speeds. How? Our technology uses a projector to image each layer for easy and precise printing, with the ability to build several smaller parts on a single platform for increased productivity.
“Where the machine does win is on speed. A part using the Tough material, for example, might take five hours – and less if you went for the grey prototyping resin instead. A Formlabs Form 2, running an analogous material at the same layer height (0.05mm), would take over 12 hours to build the same part.”

FabPro prints at up to three-times-faster high-throughput print speeds compared to the same part file printed on a competitive entry-level system.
Lower Costs, Delivered
The FabPro 1000 is engineered for material efficiency and consistent, repeatable run times, making 3D prototyping and production more accessible and affordable than ever before. 3D Sprint® file preparation and print management software helps manage material usage with less waste with optimized print builds and support structures. This combination of fast print speeds and optimized printing all leads to lower part costs and lower Total Cost of Operations (TCO).
Preparing part files for printing and monitoring print jobs is easy with 3D Sprint software
Materials made for quality. Applications made for you.
From tough engineering plastics to castable resins, FabPro materials are designed for accuracy and quality. Additionally our easy-to-load materials enable quick set up and mess-free printing.
A Wide Range of FabPro™ Quality Materials
Support You Can Count On
A one-year manufacturer’s warranty is included with purchase of the FabPro. Additional one-year and two-year warranties to extend the service life of the printer are available for purchase.
Simple Post-Processing for Perfect Parts
Post-processing for the FabPro 1000 is a simple two-step process – clean and cure. Simply remove the printed part from the FabPro 1000, remove any support structures and clean in a solvent either in an ultrasonic cleaner or manually. The FabPro 1000 includes a Finishing Kit for supplies to help with the cleaning and support removal process. From there, the part requires UV-curing for final finishing, either in the recommended optional LC-3DPrint Box or other UV-curing unit.
The LC-3DPrint Box is a revolutionary light-based UV post-curing unit, specially designed for post-curing 3D printing materials.
