Form 2 standard resin
high resolution. For demanding applications, our resins are engineered to capture the tiniest features in your model.
Strength and precision. Our resins create precise and durable parts ideal for rapid prototyping and product development.
Surface treatment. The printer printing process was smooth, and the Form 2 printer polished and processed the final part product printed.
Transparent
Clear resin can be sanded to near optical clarity, making it ideal for revealing interior features.
White
White resin accentuates smooth surfaces, minimalist lines and a warm pale ivory colour.
Grey
The grey resin surface is completely matt for perfect detailing without primer.
Black
Black resin is made for models with subtle features and intricate details.
Form 2 solves complex engineering challenges with a range of functional resin materials
Engineered Grey Resin
Has good stiffness and precision
Grey - Specialty resin with high precision, medium elongation and low creep. This material is ideal for conceptual modeling and functional prototyping, especially for reusable parts.
High hardness resin
Has good stiffness and precision
High hardness resin filled glass, providing very high stiffness and polished surface. This material is highly resistant to deformation and is suitable for thin-walled and characteristic printing.
Durable resin
Lower friction and wear
Durable resins have low modulus, high elongation and high impact strength to produce smooth, shiny parts with high resistance to deformation. This material is mostly used in applications requiring minimal friction.
High temperature resin
High heat resistance
The highest heat distortion temperature (HDT) of the high temperature resin is 289°C @ 0.45MPa. It can be used to print models, do environmental testing or mold casting and thermoforming.
Flexible resin
Suitable for ergonomic design
Use flexible resins to produce curved and compressed parts. The softness is very good to simulate soft-touch materials and add ergonomic features to multi-material components.
High toughness resin
Ideal for making sturdy prototypes
High-toughness resin balances strength and flexibility, making it an ideal material for applications requiring prototype strength and functional assembly parts that can experience brief compressive or tensile forces.
Jewelry
Castable resin
Castable resins burn well without ash or residue, perfect for high-resolution prints when investment casting.
Dentistry
Dental SG
Dental SG is a Class 1 biocompatible resin (EN-ISO 10993-1:2009/AC:2010, USP Class V) for direct printing of surgical and pilot drill guides.
color kit
16 colors, making full color printing possible
The first mixed color solution for stereolithographic 3D printing, the Formlabs Color Kit enables a range of color 3D prints without the need for manual processing and coloring. Using color 3D printing allows faster field testing of product concepts to suit their environmental needs.
