After experiencing a roller coaster pre-production period, the folks over at FormLabs have announced<\/a> that the Form 1 3D-printer is entering into full production. <\/p>\n

The “large majority” of Kickstarter orders set for delivery by the end of April. They’ve purchased enough components to build out over 1,000 Form 1 3D printers. <\/p>\n

The company first launched the Form 1 on Kickstarter to an awesome reception<\/a>, scoring over $2.9 million in pre-orders after asking for a mere $100k. <\/p>\n

But before the company could begin production, it was hit with a patent infringement lawsuit from 3D Systems<\/a>, which also accused Kickstarter of promoting the allegedly infringing product. <\/p>\n

FormLabs pressed on<\/a>, and is now ready to begin full production of the 3D printer. <\/p>\n

FormLabs claims that it can offer better accuracy than competitive 3D printing offerings, like the Makerbot, at a similar price. <\/p>\n

According to FormLabs, the team will begin by vigorously testing the first small batch of Form 1 printers. After that, the company plans on setting exact ship dates. <\/p>\n
