BioMed Amber Resin—
Why Choose BioMed Amber Resin?
Fuel medical innovation using 3D printing and BioMed Amber Resin for producing end-use devices where performance and biocompatibility are critical.
Medical-Grade Material
Leverage a material manufactured within our Quality Management Systems, with strict adherence to ISO 13485.
Biocompatible and Sterilizable Parts
Testing conducted by Formlabs for common use cases is intended to instill confidence that this material is suitable for biocompatible applications.
Semi-Transparent
Visibility through parts allows light to pass through.
Excellent Definition
Produce parts and assemblies with complex designs and geometries.
Applications*
Use BioMed Amber Resin for producing rigid, transparent parts for point-of-care and medical manufacturing applications requiring biocompatibility.
*Unlike Formlabs Dental Resins, no intended uses are provided for BioMed Resins. Material properties may vary based on part design, manufacturing practices, and other methods. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility and its respective customers and end-users to determine the biocompatibility and performance of all printed parts for their respective application and use. To instill confidence in potential users, Formlabs has tested biocompatibility and sterilization compatibility for common use cases and manufactures BioMed Resins in an ISO 13485 certified facility. We can offer representative examples of what customers have done with our products and the supporting documentation we make freely available.

2 Data for post-cured samples were measured on Type IV tensile bars printed on a Form 2 and Form 3B (impact and thermal measurements) printers with 100 µm BioMed Amber Resin settings, washed in a Form Wash for 20 minutes in 99% isopropyl alcohol.
3 BioMed Amber Resin was tested at NAMSA World Headquarters, OH, USA.
Post-Processing
Washing
BioMed Amber Resin may be washed using either a Formlabs-validated wash unit (1) or an ultrasonic wash unit (2).
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.
SETTINGS
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.
