Formlabs Black V5 Resin for Form 4, 5L

Expand your production capabilities with the high-volume container Formlabs Black Resin V5 Form 4, 5L. Designed exclusively for the Form 4 ecosystem, this next-generation general-purpose material delivers an exceptional balance of fast print speeds, dimensional accuracy, and superior aesthetics. Perfect for engineering and design professionals who require a reliable, deep black material, this resin produces parts with a surface finish that rivals injection moulding.
Please note: This 5L container requires a Resin Pump to operate. Items in this volume are manufactured to order and may have a lead time of more than 5 weeks.

The new standard for high-speed prototyping

Speed and precision

Unlock the full potential of the Form 4 series. This V5 formulation is engineered to print three times faster than previous versions without compromising quality. It delivers high dimensional accuracy, ensuring fine features and tight tolerances are maintained — making it ideal for rapid iteration and form-and-fit testing.

Presentation-ready aesthetics

Create models that look like finished products straight off the build platform. The resin features an exceptionally rich, deep matt black colour that effectively conceals layer lines and highlights intricate details. Whether for client presentations or functional enclosures, the visual quality is indistinguishable from moulded plastics.

Enhanced mechanical strength

Experience a material that is both rigid and durable. Compared to the previous V4 generation, Black Resin V5 offers twice the elongation at break and 25% greater impact resistance. The result is robust parts that can withstand handling and functional use without becoming brittle.

Streamlined user experience

Optimise your workflow with a material designed for convenience and efficiency. Black Resin V5 emits extremely low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ensuring a pleasant, low-odour printing environment. When combined with the 5L automation system, you can print for longer with fewer interruptions.

Versatile applications

This material is formulated to provide the optimal balance of rigidity, strength, and speed, making it suitable for a wide range of applications:

• Functional prototyping: precise form-and-fit testing for engineering assemblies.
• Visual models: high-fidelity, presentation-ready models with intricate details.
• End-use parts: durable housings, enclosures, and covers.
• Manufacturing aids: robust jigs, fixtures, and tooling.
