"Working with Form 4, it's really a game-changer. The speed of the printer will change our workflow. We can deliver more parts, the throughput is higher. We are much more flexible if we have short-time requests."

Sandro Piroddi | Supervisor of the Rapid Technology Center, Ford

"On one lighting project, we did three iterations in a single day — designed and printed three different parts before we had a meeting in the afternoon. We haven't had a single failure on the Form 4."
