We’re heading to Fieldays this June!

You’ll find us in the Agri sector, talking with farmers about how 3D printing can solve real problems on the farm. One thing we’re exploring this year is remote printing support, helping farmers get parts made when they need them.

Come find us at the stand and have a chat.

Bambu Lab tried to shut down an OrcaSlicer fork. It backfired spectacularly.

The project now has more mirrors, more downloads, and more attention than ever. Louis Rossmann and GamersNexus both rehosted the code and pledged $20k in legal support.

The lesson? When you buy a 3D printer, make sure you actually own it.

At Formtech we sell Formlabs — open ecosystem, no lock-in, no drama. Just professional 3D printing that works.

Cost is one of the most common concerns for people exploring 3D printing for the first time. However, the reality is that entry-level machines have become significantly more affordable in recent years, making the technology accessible to individuals, schools, and small businesses.

Beyond the initial purchase of the printer, operating costs are relatively low. Filament is inexpensive, electricity consumption is comparable to a desktop computer, and routine maintenance requirements are minimal.

For businesses, even a single avoided outsourced prototype or replacement part can offset the cost of a machine. This is one of the reasons additive manufacturing continues to grow as a practical tool for both individuals and organisations.

When investing in a 3D printer, the purchase itself is only part of the decision. Ongoing support, access to parts and materials, and reliable servicing are often the factors that determine long-term success with the technology.

At Formtech we focus not only on supplying machines but also on supporting customers throughout their 3D printing journey. This includes local stock availability, technical support, servicing options, and training for individuals or businesses that want to build capability in-house.

For many organisations, having access to local expertise and service can be just as valuable as the hardware itself!

This is what people call the “blob of death.” It looks scary… but most of the time it’s just a part replacement, not a whole new printer.

There’s not much we can’t fix.
If your printer ends up looking like this, give us a call.

One of the most powerful aspects of 3D printing is the ability to move from idea to physical object within hours.

Many new users begin with simple projects such as household fixes, tool organisers, replacement parts, or hobby components. These small prints often demonstrate the practical value of additive manufacturing immediately.

For businesses, this same capability can scale into producing custom fixtures, prototypes, protective housings, and low-volume parts that would otherwise take days or weeks to source.

The transition from curiosity to practical use often happens very quickly once people see how easily they can create useful objects.
