Using BioMed Durable Resin

Notice:

To avoid damage to equipment, check the resin tank compatibility table in Choosing the right material to confirm you are using a resin tank that is compatible with this material.

BioMed Durable Resin is a clear material for applications requiring impact, shatter, and abrasion resistance. This USP Class VI material is made in an FDA-registered, ISO 13485 facility and can be used in applications for long-term skin (>30 days) and short-term tissue, bone, and dentin contact (<24hrs).

Printing with BioMed Durable Resin

Notice:

To avoid damage to equipment, check the resin tank compatibility table in Choosing the right material to confirm you are using a resin tank that is compatible with this material.

Install or update PreForm, then set up the next print job.

To prepare a model for printing in PreForm:

  1. Open a model.
  2. Select the resin, resin version, and the desired layer thickness.
  3. Orient according to the manufacturing guide.
  4. Generate supports.
  5. Send the print job to the printer.

Washing

Follow the part washing recommendations in the manufacturing guide for the clearest and best possible results. Improper washing can lead to suboptimal mechanical and biocompatibility properties.

Post-curing requirements

Follow the post-curing recommendations in the manufacturing guide for the clearest and best possible results. Improper post-curing can lead to suboptimal mechanical and biocompatibility properties.
