3D Print Prototypes or Production Parts Quickly and Easily
“FabPro 1000 is an excellent entry-level 3D printer that can produce good looking, high-quality parts...”—Engineering.com
Artforge Studio Uses FabPro to Expand Capabilities with 3D Printed Jewelry Patterns
Artforge Studio is the workshop of an artisan based in the United Kingdom specializing in innovative and imaginative designs using 3D Systems’ entry-level industrial 3D printer, the FabPro™ 1000.
The printer’s accuracy, ease-of-use, and cost-effectiveness as well as the quality and resilience of the material makes the FabPro 1000 is a useful tool for expanding creative ambitions.
See how Artforge Studio uses 3D printing with FabPro for greater productivity.
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.”

Lower Costs, Delivered
The FabPro 1000 is engineered for material efficiency and consistent, repeatable runtimes, 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).
A Wide Range of Quality Materials
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.
Industrial Strength with Start-to-Finish Simplicity
This entry-level powerhouse packs industrial durability and reliability into a rugged yet compact platform, delivering professional quality day in and day out. It's also simple to use – from setup, material loading and file configuration to post-processing, cleaning and maintenance:
- No special training or certification is required due to an intuitive design and easy-access print chamber.
- Replacing print trays and switching materials is a snap.
- Post-processing is seamless with an included finishing kit, and optional light-based LC-3DPrint Box UV post-curing unit for required cleaning and curing.
Easy-to-Use Software
“The good news is that 3D Sprint is one of the best examples of this kind of software that we’ve come across. Not only does it connect directly to your machine and manage all of your queue handling, it also offers a veritable armoury of tools to ensure that the part that comes out of the machine is how you want it and optimised for your process and chosen material.”
- Develop3D
Preparing part files for printing and monitoring print jobs is easy with 3D Systems 3D Sprint software, which comes standard with every FabPro 1000. This robust additive manufacturing software streamlines printing preparation through file importing, editing, repairing, and slicing and optimizes part placement on the platform with support creation and nesting.
- Easy build job set-up, submission and job queue management
- Automatic part placement and build optimization tools
- Part nesting capability and part editing tools
- Automatic support generation
- Job statistics
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.
