FormLabs, the same folks that are bringing the Form 1 3D printer to market, has had a roller coaster year. After launching on Kickstarter with a huge reception — backers pledged almost $3 million during the course of the campaign — the company ran into an obstacle when 3D Systems Corp. sued both FormLabs and Kickstarter for patent infringement. Today, however, the company has announced on its blog that things are still going well, with engineers "hard at work building ten beta Form 1 printers." The beta units will have design upgrades from the alpha units the team has been working with, and will allow for further prototype testing.
