Stratasys ProLight™ Cure Box is the same as the Form Cure L

General Discussion
1

My brain just broke for a second. I was scrolling through the Stratasys site and found their new “Prolight Cure Box.”

Tell me this isn’t just a Form Cure L with a different logo photoshopped on it.

The whole shell is identical. Same door, same screen, everything. The specs are basically the same too:

  • Heat: Heats up to 80°C

  • Size: Fits parts up to 39 cm wide

The only actual difference is the lights inside (theirs is 450nm for their stuff, ours is 405nm).

Gotta be a rebrand, right? Kinda funny they didn’t even change the case.

Anyone else seen this? What do you think?

On page 42 of the user manual you can see a typical Formlabs printer name : PLUSHBLENNY and the mention of Draft V2 being used.
So I guess that is 100% a Formlabs Cure L picture.

In the page 92 of the user manual, we can see even the FormLabs Logo in the electronic board. Definitely the FormCure L :rofl: , if other companies are copying you, so for sure you are doing something very good.

The 3D printing space seems to be full of lazy resellers like this. Or maybe they just don’t care about covering their tracks! Here’s probably the most egregious one I’ve found: $5,000 for a relabeled sous vide cooker that should cost ~$800

Yep…don’t buy that. I have the same $800 Sous Vide cooker I bought years ago and has been working great.

However, I just looked it up to post a link and I am noticing its now “discontinued”….so maybe they got bought out and marked up to $5k now…?

Katom Sous Vide Cooker discontinued

UPDATE: I did search and find it here though

Sous Vide Cooker Available

So if you do not want to spend an extra $4,200 for the super cool 3DCHIMERA laser cut logo on the basket….I’d get that one :+1:

And then just get yourself a fry basket and take that stock floor cage and wire tie it to the top (if doing Nylon 12 the parts tend to float)

Literal robbery lol, wow :flushed_face:

It’s not robbery…. IT’S BRANDING!

Going out on a limb here — what if Formlabs and Stratasys have a strategic partnership where Formlabs supplies the Cure L to Stratasys? It wouldn’t be that unusual. Even in the automotive world you see this all the time; In India, Suzuki builds certain cars and Toyota just rebrands and sells it under their own name. (Suzuki Baleno → Toyota Glanza, Suzuki Fronx → Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor etc.)

I think this is pretty obvious based on the posts here. Seems like they white label the product out to Stratasys, and then Stratasys likely charges whatever they want for it to their customers.

The markup on that heated bath is insane though and was the “robbery” I was talking about earlier :upside_down_face:

Happens at all levels in all kind of products, this should become a new section for unmasking this kind of products.

It’s like artec rebranding Scantech products, or like hexagon doing the same with some chinese scanners.
