Form Studio 1 Build Platform Flex — Formlabs Quick Release

Form Studio 1 Build Platform Flex — parts off in seconds, no tools

The Flex platform uses Formlabs' Quick Release Technology: a flexible stainless-steel print surface that releases parts the moment you bend it, with no scraper. That removes the risk of damaging a part and shortens post-processing. Formlabs recommends it for almost all prints, and it is the platform included with every Flex-package Form Studio 1.

Highlights

Fast, safe removal — flex the surface and the part lets go.
Gouge-free stainless steel — built for long-term durability.
Print directly on the platform — flat-bottomed parts need little or no support, saving resin and finishing time.
A spare keeps the printer busy — load a second platform and start the next job while you clear the first.

Common questions

Will it fit my Form Studio 1 that came with the standard platform?+

Yes. The Build Platform Flex is a drop-in replacement for the standard aluminium platform on any Form Studio 1.

Does it fit the Form 4?+

No. This platform is sized for the Form Studio 1 only; the Form 4 has its own Build Platform Flex.

Can I wash parts while they are still on the platform?+

Yes. The platform is compatible with Form Wash V2, and the Form Studio Wash+Cure also accepts parts loaded directly on the build platform.
