Formlabs BioMed Durable Resin (Form 4) 1 L

BioMed Durable Resin is a transparent 3D printing material designed for biocompatible applications that require high impact, shatter, and abrasion resistance. This USP Class VI material is ideal for medical devices and instruments that must withstand rigorous use while maintaining contact with the body. It is manufactured in an FDA-registered, ISO 13485 certified facility.

Why choose BioMed Durable Resin?

• Impact and shatter resistant: produce medical-grade parts with a high Notched Izod of 98 J/m, ensuring durability in demanding environments.
• Certified medical-grade: manufactured within strict Quality Management Systems in an ISO 13485 and EU MDR certified facility.
• Excellent clarity: features high transparency and a smooth surface finish that rivals end-use injection-moulded parts.
• Versatile biocompatibility: suitable for pharmaceutical, drug delivery, and point-of-care medical applications.
• Abrasion resistance: maintains its integrity and surface quality even under repetitive friction or handling.

Applications for BioMed Durable Resin:

Introduce cutting-edge patient-specific instruments (PSI) and procedure-specific medical devices at the point of care. Improve patient outcomes, reduce complications, and reduce operating time with medical devices printed in BioMed Durable Resin.

BioMed Durable Resin is ideal for:

• Patient-specific instruments (PSI): tailored surgical tools designed for specific procedures and patient anatomy.
• End-use medical components: durable parts for medical devices where impact resistance and biocompatibility are critical.
• Single-use instruments: high-performance disposable tools for hospital and clinical settings.

Biocompatibility and safety:

BioMed Durable Resin has been tested for common medical use cases. To ensure safety and regulatory compliance, parts must be post-processed according to the official manufacturing guide, including validated wash and cure cycles. This material is USP Class VI certified, making it suitable for drug delivery applications.

Post-processing

Washing

BioMed Durable Resin may be washed using either a Formlabs-validated wash unit or an ultrasonic wash unit.

The foundational step in any SLA post-processing workflow is to remove excess resin on the surface of the parts through an alcohol wash. Please refer to the material's manufacturing guide/IFU for washing instructions.

Curing

For biocompatible materials, post-curing is necessary to achieve the safety standards determined by regulatory agencies. Please follow the material’s manufacturing guide/IFU for proper post-processing.

Note: Only compatible with the Formlabs Form 4 series resin printer.
