Why Choose Color Resin V5?
A Custom-Colorable 3D Printing Resin
Rich, Vibrant Colors
3D print parts in a wide variety of colors to match your brand, product line, or creative vision. Make parts that blend in or stand out with the freedom to customize colors from subtle neutrals to bold statement colors.
Accurate, Consistent Color Matching
Print parts in your preferred color for accurate prototypes, functional color-coding, or custom end-use applications. Every order is custom-manufactured and checked for quality, ensuring consistent, repeatable results with every order.
Fast, Easy, Affordable
Make custom-colored parts affordably without long outsourcing lead times or using skilled labor for painting, coating, or pigment mixing. Order as little as one liter, which will be manufactured and shipped within one week, and be ready to 3D print in color right out of the box.
Versatile Mechanical Properties
Use industry-leading materials from Formlabs to create custom-colored 3D printed parts that are both aesthetic and functional. Balance strength, toughness, and stiffness for realistic prototypes, end-use parts, and more.
How To Use Color Resin V5
1. Easy ordering and fast shipping: Order your custom-colored resin on this page. Your colored 3D printing material will be manufactured and shipped within one week from a facility in the USA. When your order arrives, it will be ready to print right out of the box.
2. Custom-generated print settings: Prepare your 3D file for printing using a unique Formlabs Print Setting (FPS) file for optimal print performance. This FPS file can be downloaded through PreForm.
3. Print as normal: Print, wash, and post-cure color 3D printed parts using your usual workflow on Formlabs resin printers, with unmatched reliability and exceptional part quality.

Post-Processing
Washing
The foundational step in any SLA post-processing workflow is to remove any excess resin on the surface of the parts through an alcohol or ether wash.
SETTINGS
Curing
Post-curing for General Purpose Resins is optional. However, Formlabs recommends a short post-curing to reduce surface tack and improve mechanical properties.
