Material properties may vary based on part geometry, print orientation, print settings, and temperature. Data was obtained from parts printed using Form 2, 100 μm, Clear settings and post-cured with 1.25 mW/cm³ of 405 nm LED light for 60 minutes at 60°C.

Post-Processing

Form Wash Settings

Duration

10 minutes

Notes

When using a single wash bucket, residue from previously washed parts deposits on part surfaces. If washing darker-colored materials like Black Resin in the same wash bucket as lighter-colored materials like White Resin or Clear Resin, some color transfer may occur.

Form Cure Settings

Duration

30 min

 

Temperature

60 °C

Notes

All standard opaque Formlabs resins (including Grey, Black, White, Color, and Model Resin) have equivalent mechanical properties. While the recommended post-cure time is 30 minutes, post-curing for 60 minutes will result in a small additional gain in tensile modulus. This post-cure setting can be used with any of these resins.
