Formlabs BioMed White Resin – Medical Resin
The Formlabs BioMed White Resin has been developed with the goal of raising the standard of healthcare. Thanks to medical 3D printing, you can now bring cutting-edge tools within reach of any healthcare centre or clinic.
Formlabs continuously expands its range of materials for its 3D printers. The Formlabs BioMed Resin line is designed for a wide variety of applications where performance and biocompatibility are critical. BioMed Resin materials are developed and manufactured in ISO 13485-certified facilities, and are fully compatible with standard disinfection and sterilisation methods.
Material for 3D Printing in the Medical Sector
BioMed White Resin is a rigid, opaque, and biocompatible photopolymer resin. It is designed for applications requiring prolonged skin contact or brief contact with patient mucous membranes. This unique medical resin has been tested for pyrogenicity and acute systemic toxicity in accordance with US Pharmacopeia standards. As such, it is ideal for cases involving short-duration contact with tissue, bone, and dentine.
Parts printed with BioMed White Resin can be processed using standard solvent disinfection and sterilisation methods. This material is produced in an ISO 13485-certified facility and holds USP Class VI certification, making it suitable for pharmaceutical and drug delivery applications.
Print resolution: 100 µm, 50 µm.
Requires final post-curing.
Applications of BioMed White Resin
This material enables rapid, customised production of:
- End-use medical devices and their components.
- Customised models and implant replicas for determining precise sizing.
- Cutting and drilling guides.
- Surgical guides and templates.
- Moulds, clamps, fixtures, and biocompatible devices.
- Anatomical models that can be used directly in the operating theatre.
