Formlabs Alpha Black Resin 1 L

Formlabs Alpha Black Resin 1 L — a versatile resin for aesthetic and functional parts. It combines fine detail with a rich matte finish. The material outperforms comparable ABS-like resins in strength and toughness. At the same time, it does not sacrifice fine features or surface quality, and printing stays fast.

Key specifications and benefits

• Certification: UL GREENGUARD Gold — The certification is valid when printing on Form Studio 1 with the VOC Extractor, so the process should be planned around this combination.
• Strength and toughness: higher than comparable ABS-like resins — Tooling and functional prototypes withstand loads better, and fine features do not suffer.
• Finish: rich matte black — Concept models retain fine detail, and the matte surface produces no glossy glare.
• Low odour and safety: The components of the Alpha Resin Family range have a low odour. Post-processed parts meet safety requirements for prolonged skin contact, so they can be handed to users for evaluation.
• Fast printing: The resin combines high print speed with fine detail, so prototype iterations do not require a compromise on feature sharpness.
• Versatility: Formlabs Alpha Black Resin 1 L is designed for aesthetic and functional parts. One material covers concept models and form-and-fit prototypes.

Applications

The tasks below are those where Formlabs Alpha Black Resin 1 L offers a practical advantage on Form Studio 1.

• Concept models: Printing aesthetic models with fine features and a rich matte black finish. Fast printing allows quicker progress to the next model iteration.
• Form-and-fit prototypes: Checking the form and fit of parts in an assembly. The strength and toughness of the resin are higher than those of comparable ABS-like resins, and fine features are preserved.
• Tooling and jigs: Producing jigs and auxiliary tooling. The resin is stronger and tougher than comparable ABS-like alternatives, so fixtures withstand loads better.
• Skin-contact parts: Post-processed parts meet safety requirements for prolonged skin contact. This allows prototypes to be handed to users for hands-on evaluation.
• Projects with certification requirements: The Alpha Resin Family range was the first among 3D printing materials to receive UL GREENGUARD Gold certification. For such projects, print on Form Studio 1 with the VOC Extractor.

Compatibility and accessories

Formlabs Alpha Black Resin 1 L is supported only on Form Studio 1. UL GREENGUARD Gold certification is valid when printing on this equipment with the VOC Extractor. It extends to the Alpha Resin Family range, to which this resin belongs. Printing on other platforms is not supported.
