The Formlabs 3D printers are capable of printing in various material types. Standard acrylic resins are the most common, while the other materials are used for simulating other material properties.<\/p>\n

Gray Pro and Rigid resins are not kept in stock and require 1 week advance notice. Supplies are ordered on demand. Material minimum may be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

Standard Acrylic<\/h4><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>Standard acrylic resins are the ideal choice for high detail, smooth matte finish, and no required post-curing.
\n

Gray Pro<\/h4><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/td>Grey Pro Resin offers high precision, moderate elongation, and low creep. This material is great for concept modeling and functional prototyping, especially for parts that will be handled repeatedly.
