PreForm request : Multiple Build Plates for Sequential Print Preparation

Dear Formlabs Team,

I’d like to suggest a feature that could greatly improve workflow efficiency for users handling multi-part or sequential print projects: the ability to create and manage multiple build plates (or “plates”) within a single project.

This would allow users to :

  • Prepare multiple print jobs within one project file
  • Organize parts across different plates for better clarity
  • Easily switch between plates and send them to print one by one
  • Avoid having to save separate project files for each stage of a multi-part print

It’s especially useful for projects involving a large number of pieces that need to be printed in separate runs due to build volume limitations.

Let me know what you think — and if the dev team sees this, I’d love to know if this could be considered for a future release!

Thanks!
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas

Thanks for reaching out and sharing this feedback! We’re actively working on this feature and I’ll circle back when we have something to show.

Edit: we’re actively looking for feedback (on this request as well as new ones). Feel free to make a new thread!
