Professional Matte Finish & High-Opacity Detail
Black Resin V5 is formulated for the highest level of detail and a premium, production-ready aesthetic. Its rich, opaque black colour effectively blocks light and hides internal components, while the smooth matte finish mimics the look and feel of injection-molded parts. On the Form 4, it prints up to 3x faster than previous generations, allowing you to move from design to a finished black prototype in record time.
Key Features
-
Deep, Opaque Pigmentation: Specifically tuned to provide total opacity even in thin-walled sections, making it ideal for enclosures and parts that must prevent light-bleed.
-
Exceptional Surface Fidelity: Captures the finest embossed details and sharp edges with a professional, low-gloss finish that requires minimal post-processing.
-
Enhanced Mechanical Profile: V5 offers a balanced combination of high tensile strength and stiffness, providing more durability for functional testing than standard "draft" or "model" resins.
-
Consistent Batch Quality: Improved chemical stability in the cartridge and resin tank ensures consistent colour and performance throughout the life of the material.
Ideal Applications
-
Consumer Electronics: Prototyping housings for smartphones, wearables, and remote controls.
-
Automotive Components: Detailed interior trim, bezels, and non-structural under-the-hood components.
-
Light-Shielding Parts: Enclosures for optical sensors, cameras, and LED-containing assemblies.
-
Final Presentation Models: High-fidelity prototypes for stakeholder reviews and commercial photography.
FAQ
How Does Black Resin V5 Compare to the Previous V4?
V5 is chemically optimized for the Form 4's light engine. It prints significantly faster and has improved "green-state" strength, which helps maintain dimensional accuracy during the wash and cure process for thin-walled parts.
Can I Use Black Resin V5 on a Form 3?
No. Black Resin V5 is formulated strictly for the Form 4 series.
What is the Recommended Post-Cure?
To achieve the full mechanical properties and a smooth, tack-free surface, post-cure in the Form Cure V2 for 15 minutes at 60°C.
