UniFormation S10 Puts Resin Printing, Washing and Drying in One Machine

UniFormation has unveiled the S10, a desktop resin printer that handles printing, washing and drying inside one enclosure, cutting out the wet transfer to a separate wash station.

Fresh resin prints normally leave the machine coated in uncured material and go straight into a solvent bath. That short trip is where gloves become sticky, resin reaches the worktop and a second machine starts taking up space. The S10 keeps the handoff behind its tinted door. Once printing is complete, the same enclosure washes the build and dries it before the user opens the machine.

The automated sequence ends with washing and drying. Supports still have to be removed and the model needs its final cure. An optional curing module plugs into the S10 after support removal, allowing the printer to control that final stage without a separate curing station. It is not part of the standard automatic print-wash-dry cycle.

The Wash Station Is Inside the Printer

The S10 combines its print chamber with a 9-liter wash tank and a heated drying stage. Build volume is 223 x 126 x 200 mm, drying runs between 35 and 45 °C, and the resin vat holds up to one liter. The machine itself measures 620 x 340 x 620 mm, so this is a substantial desktop appliance, but still one enclosure in place of a printer and wash station.

That consolidation is the real point of the S10. Formlabs and HeyGears automate washing too, but their desktop workflows use dedicated machines beside the printer. UniFormation calls the S10 the world's first fully automated desktop resin printer, and the one-box layout is what sets it apart.

Used on its own, the S10 runs two washing cycles with the same cleaning solution. The separate S10 Fluid Hub adds a rough wash followed by a fine rinse and can serve up to three printers. Printers connected to one Fluid Hub share a wash queue, with UniFormation estimating a five- to ten-minute wait. For a studio running several machines, that shared wash stage needs to be considered alongside the printing time.

Automated Washing Has Its Own Capacity Limits

The build volume does not tell the whole story for an integrated machine. The current specification sheet lists a 550 ml model-volume limit in fully automated mode, rising to 800 ml in what UniFormation calls connected-wash-station mode. Model files exceeding the limit trigger a warning. These figures refer to the models being processed, not the one-liter capacity of the resin vat.

Print-only mode has no separate model-volume limit listed, although the same build dimensions still apply. A large solid part that fits the build plate may therefore need a different workflow from a smaller batch of miniatures. Hollow models must have drain holes, a requirement UniFormation explicitly includes in the specification sheet.

The S10 Pairs 16K Resolution With Assisted Release

Printing happens on a 10.1-inch monochrome LCD with a resolution of 15,360 x 6,540 pixels. The current specification table gives a 14.52 x 19.25-micron pixel pitch for the miniatures, dental models and detailed prototypes UniFormation is targeting with the machine.

The Z axis runs on a C5-class ballscrew, with repeatability rated at plus or minus 0.005 mm. Under the vat, an assisted release system pairs NFEP with a second film. UniFormation claims the arrangement cuts peel force by more than 30 percent, reducing the load placed on a fresh layer as it separates from the vat.

Pressure sensors watch for foreign objects that could spoil a build. Automatic resin feeding keeps the vat supplied, while factory pre-leveling, an anti-overflow design and quick-release vat and build plate are meant to shorten the work around each job. They support the longer automatic sequence, in which the printer moves from a finished build into washing and drying without a manual handoff.

Slicing and Remote Monitoring

UniFormation Studio provides the first-party slicer, with five resin profiles prepared for common jobs: standard, ABS-like, wear-resistant, engineering and miniature-detail materials. The specification table also names Chitubox and Lychee, so owners will not be locked to one slicer. A phone can be used to monitor a running job, and UniFormation is pairing the software with a library of ready-to-print models.

UniFormation lists Fast, Standard and Gentle wash settings as coming soon, rather than available features. Its five resin profiles describe material categories; they are not a published compatibility list for every third-party resin. Owners using a particular engineering resin will still need the right exposure, wash and cure settings for that material.

Pricing and Availability

As of October 8, UniFormation still lists the S10 at a $1,299 MSRP. Its Kickstarter campaign is planned for late October 2026, with a $999 pledge tier and an $899 effective VIP price. The VIP offer requires a refundable $20 deposit before launch. Backers then pledge the full $999 on Kickstarter; UniFormation says it will return the deposit and send the $100 VIP reward separately within 14 days after the campaign.

The reservation also includes a two-year warranty, priority shipping and a 5% accessories coupon. UniFormation estimates deliveries for March 2027 and names the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia among the supported destinations.

What does the UniFormation S10 automate?+

The S10 automates printing, washing and drying inside one enclosure. Support removal and final curing follow afterward, and the specification table lists the curing module as an optional add-on.

What is the UniFormation S10 build volume?+

UniFormation lists a build volume of 223.03 x 125.9 x 200 mm. Its 10.1-inch 16K monochrome LCD has a 15,360 x 6,540-pixel resolution.

Can the S10 automatically wash any model that fits its build volume?+

The specification sheet lists a 550 ml model-volume limit in fully automated mode and 800 ml with the connected wash station. Print-only mode has no separate model-volume limit listed. Hollow models require drain holes.

How much will the UniFormation S10 cost?+

UniFormation lists a $1,299 MSRP, a $999 Kickstarter pledge and an $899 effective VIP price. The VIP offer requires a refundable $20 deposit before the late-October 2026 campaign, with estimated delivery in March 2027.
