Discover superior performance with Formlabs Grey Resin V5

The Formlabs Grey Resin V5 sets a new standard in versatile 3D printing materials, optimised specifically for the Form 4 ecosystem. It delivers an exceptional combination of speed, accuracy, and visual appeal. You will achieve parts with remarkable rigidity and strength, alongside a matte surface finish that closely resembles injection-moulded components. Its deep, consistent grey tone highlights even the finest details, allowing you to print up to three times faster than with the previous version — without sacrificing mechanical strength.

Unrivalled precision

Achieve industry-leading dimensional accuracy and ensure your parts meet the most stringent specifications. With XY dimensional tolerances of ±0.15% (with a lower limit of ±0.02 mm), the Formlabs Grey Resin V5 guarantees the accuracy required even for the most demanding engineering applications.

Exceptional visual aesthetics

Produce models with a professional finish, ready to present to the end client. The deep matte grey colour and its ability to capture sharp, fine features allow your prints to compete directly in quality and appearance with traditional injection-moulded components.

Balanced mechanical performance

Take advantage of a versatile combination of strength, toughness, and rigidity. The Grey Resin V5 enables you to create functional parts suited to a broad spectrum of uses, ensuring durability and reliability in every job.

A safe and comfortable printing environment

Enjoy a more pleasant working environment thanks to the low volatile organic compound (VOC) formulation of the Formlabs Grey Resin V5. This significantly reduces odour during printing, improving user comfort in offices or enclosed workshops.

Versatile applications for Formlabs Grey Resin V5

Harness the consistent reliability and robust properties of the Formlabs Grey Resin V5 across a variety of industrial sectors. It is the ideal choice for creating dimensionally accurate, rigid, and strong components with an unrivalled print success rate.

Ideal for a wide range of projects:

• Form and fit prototyping: Iterate designs rapidly with high-fidelity models.
• Presentation models: Showcase intricate details and fine features with a premium finish.
• General dental models: Produce accurate and reliable models for a variety of dental applications.
• Tooling and fixtures (Jigs & Fixtures): Manufacture durable tools for manufacturing and assembly processes.

What sets Grey Resin V5 apart?

The latest iteration, Formlabs Grey Resin V5, represents a significant leap forward compared to its predecessor, the V4 — particularly when used within the Form 4 ecosystem:

• Improved speed: Experience print speeds up to three times faster, dramatically reducing production times.
• Greater toughness: Benefit from 30% higher impact resistance, resulting in more resilient and durable parts.
• Richer colour: Enjoy a darker, more saturated grey tone that provides superior contrast and greater aesthetic appeal.

Optimised post-processing

Achieving optimal results with the Formlabs Grey Resin V5 involves straightforward and simple post-processing steps:

Essential washing

Begin by thoroughly washing your printed parts to remove any uncured resin from the surface. The use of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is the recommended method to ensure a clean, professional finish.

Optional post-curing

Whilst post-curing for general-purpose resins is not strictly mandatory, Formlabs recommends a brief curing cycle. This step significantly reduces surface tackiness and further improves the mechanical properties of your models, ensuring maximum performance.
