Formlabs Black resin (Form 4) 5L

Formlabs Black Resin v5 (Form 4) 5l

Black Resin v5 is an exceptionally rich, deep black general-purpose resin, offering an optimal balance of fast print speed, high accuracy, a presentation-ready appearance, strong mechanical properties, and an easy, reliable workflow.

Create parts that are stiff and strong with a surface finish that rivals injection moulding. Black Resin has a rich, matte shade that captures fine features accurately.

Black Resin v5 is a new material formulation that leverages the Form 4 series resin printer to print three times faster than the previous version, while offering significantly improved mechanical properties.

Why choose Black Resin?

Black Resin v5 is a versatile 3D printing material formulated to leverage the new Form 4 ecosystem, offering an optimal balance of performance and aesthetics.

• High dimensional accuracy: achieve precise tolerances and resolve fine features across the entire build platform.
• Superior aesthetics: rival the appearance of injection-moulded parts with a rich, matte colour and crisp, fine-feature performance.
• Versatile mechanical properties: create parts with the optimal balance of strength, toughness, and stiffness for a wide range of applications.
• Extremely low-odour printing: print with ultra-low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for a pleasant and comfortable user experience.

Applications for Black Resin:

Create dimensionally accurate parts that are stiff and strong with unmatched print reliability on your resin printer.

• Form and fit prototyping
• Presentation-ready models with fine features and intricate details
• Enclosures and housings
• Jigs and fixtures

What is new with Black Resin v5?

Compared to Black Resin v4, Black Resin v5 is:

• Faster — formulated to take advantage of the new Form 4 ecosystem to print three times faster.
• Tougher — 2x elongation at break and 25% higher impact strength than Black Resin v4.
• Darker and richer shade in colour.

Post-processing

Washing

The foundational step in any resin printer post-processing workflow is to remove any excess resin on the surface of the parts through an alcohol or ether wash.

Curing

Post-curing for general-purpose resins is optional. However, Formlabs recommends a short post-cure to reduce surface tack and improve mechanical properties.

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