FormLabs is considered the leading company in 3D SLA printing technology thanks to its high quality 3D printers, such as Form 2, Form 3 or Form 3L. development, that its resins are at the forefront of the market, both in terms of quality and variety: Standard, Color Base, Dentistry, Engineering, Jewelry and Ceramics.

The Standard Resins are the most used to obtain fast prototypes of high quality, comparable to that of a final piece.

Within this type of resins there are 4 possible options:

White, Grey and Black

Clear

White, Grey and Black

This range of colors offers a matt, opaque and precise finish, a finish that every designer, architect or creator wishes to make their prototypes and in a simple and very economical.

The White Resin manages to highlight smooth surfaces and perfect lines, with a warm color with the typical elegant touch of the ivory color.

The Grey Resin has a completely matte finish that shows all the details perfectly without primer, something really useful as a base to be painted or subjected to any finishing process.

Clear

Many designers and users of all types of 3D printing technologies want or need to make translucent pieces, something very difficult to achieve with 3D FDM printers. The 3D SLA Formlabs printers, combined with the Clear Standard Resin of FormLabs, offers the possibility of creating translucent functional pieces, such as molds that allow to see the correct filling of the material, pieces for optical applications or transparent decoration pieces. To achieve the transparent finish in the pieces, only the piece made with this type of resin should be polished.

Another advantage presented by the pieces made with the Standard Resins is that they don't need a post-printing cure. Even so, it's recommended that the parts be washed in the Form Wash and cured in the Form Cure, to obtain the maximum mechanical properties and avoid having a sticky feel.

Below, a series of usage tips are cited that must be taken into account at all times with the use of FormLabs resins:

Change cartridge

Changing the resin cartridge of the FormLabs printers is very simple, just close the top cap of the ventilation duct (vent) and remove the cartridge by holding it by the handle it has. Then the other is inserted and the vent plug is opened in case an impression is to be started. To avoid drips through the 3D printer, this process must always be carried out with the resin tank mounted.

After finishing each impression the vent plug must be closed so that the resin maintains its properties. In addition, if you don't use the printer for some time, you should keep the cartridge in its original box to keep the properties of the resin intact.

Resin tank

Each type of resin must have its resin tank, which must be changed after using 2L of resin. FormLabs has developed a more powerful tank, the Resin Tank LT, which has a life up to 20 times longer than the standard tank.

To protect and store the excess resin in the tank after each printing, FormLabs supplies a lid that ensures a perfect closure. Once the tank is closed, it is recommended to store it (with resin and lid) in the original box so that the resin doesn't lose its properties when exposed to UV rays for a long time. Another point to keep in mind is that the tanks can't be cleaned with any cleaning product or similar (for example, isopopyl alcohol), since they lose certain qualities that can cause continuous failed impressions.

Failed printing

When an error occurs in printing may be because solid parts of a previous printing have fallen to the resin tank. In this case, a spatula at 45° must be passed through the printing tank, gathering all the solid parts in a corner and removing them. To ensure that the tank resin doesn't contain any solid parts, the resin should be cast with a 190 μm paper filter. Once cast, it is put back into the tank and it is ready to be used again.

Isopropyl alcohol

Isopropyl alcohol is the key to the washing and post-processing of parts and you should know when it is time to change it. In the Finish Kit the moment to change it's when the IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) is so saturated with resin particles, that after washing the pieces are still sticky. At that point you must remove all the liquid, clean the container well and throw new IPA, but never fill in on the previous one.

In the Form Wash, the wash center itself indicates through its screen when it is time to change the isopropyl alcohol.
