Hello,  
probably you already know that Formlabs printers debuted on the movie’s scenes, but for who missed that:

Form1 in a scene of “Ant-Man”, 2015

 ![Antman%20-%20Form1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/3X/8/f/8fe83024dfa71c095d461762ec63a3e8da80e651.jpg)

Form1 in a sequence of “Black Mirror” episode “Hated in the Nation”, 2016

 ![BlackMirror%20-%20Form1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/3X/5/8/5855c357c68a480aa9dade55a7d530d19d2007d8.jpg)

Waiting that also Form2 and Form3 / 3L shoot a scene.  
Regards,  
Mattia

Wasn’t there an iron man movie with a Form 2?

A Form 1 was just in the opening sequence of Red Notice on Netflix. It’s fun, because it’s not just a prop, but showing a plot point and the machine actually printing properly.

I am pretty sure we’ve had some more over the years…

Hello,  
who can recognize the machines that are in the background, at the right side, with a yellow glass? Look like 3D printers, but I can’t understand which models they are.

Thanks and best regards,  
Mattia

It’s not Iron Man, it’s from Avengers: Infinity War. The scene lasted barely 1.5 seconds, and it’s blurry, but you can clearly make out a Form 2

Many thanks! So Q (Ben Whishaw) have a second job as dental technician. Maybe the Secret Services don’t pay enough…

Grey’s Anatomy, apparently 2 episodes in a row

Thanks for sharing. Seems Formlabs machines are reciting more and more, great!  
Next year I want to see a Form3 slapping a 3D System or DWS machine, live at Oscar party.

It was pretty bad haha.

Pulling out a grey V4 print in one go(that missed features) and the doctor immediately picked out a shiny metal card.

Yeah, gimme some of that magic self-cleaning metal resin.

Someone didn’t level their printer… the chassis shakes around like crazy when he opens the cover.

Form3 acting in the series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022).  
FormLabs papers say that post-curing give to the resins the full technical properties, but I think Bruce Banner prefers the “GREEN” resin.

Apparently they were printing a part for someone’s spine. My wife spotted and sent me 🙂  
Let’s hope they are using the Form 3B
