Choosing the right resin

Choosing the right resin

Tip:

For further guidance about materials, consult the Formlabs material selector or the Materials Catalog.

Do not mix different resins (e.g., Clear Resin and Black Resin). Print settings for different resins are carefully calculated based on each resin’s material properties, color, and curing settings.

Notice:

Resins designated as biocompatible must maintain separate accessories, including a dedicated resin tank, build platform, and finishing equipment.
