Rigid, Biocompatible, and Opaque for Specialized Clinical Use
BioMed Black Resin is a USP Class VI certified material validated for applications requiring long-term skin contact (>30 days) and short-term mucosal membrane, bone, tissue, and dentin contact (<24 hours). Manufactured in an ISO 13485-certified facility, this resin is the premier choice for light-sensitive medical applications. On the Form 4B, it achieves exceptional dimensional accuracy and a smooth matte finish, making it ideal for enclosures containing sensors or optical components.

Lab & Research Equipment: Custom manifolds and fixtures for light-sensitive pharmaceutical or laboratory testing.
FAQ
How does this differ from the Form 3 version?
The Form 4 version uses the LFD light engine to achieve significantly faster print speeds and improved dimensional accuracy. The mechanical and biocompatibility properties remain equivalent to the trusted Form 3 formulation.
Is it safe for long-term skin contact?
Yes. BioMed Black is specifically tested and validated for skin contact exceeding 30 days, making it excellent for wearable medical technology and patient-monitoring devices.
Can I use this on a standard Form 4 (Non-B)?
No. BioMed Black is officially validated for use on "B" series printers (Form 4B). These printers are designed to run the specific validated settings required to guarantee the material's certified medical properties.
