High-Resolution, Neutral Aesthetic for Rapid Prototyping
White Resin V5 offers a clean, bright-white finish with a smooth, matte surface that is ideal for parts requiring high visual detail or a base for painting and finishing. Re-engineered to take advantage of the Form 4's high-intensity backlight, V5 prints up to 4x faster than previous generations while maintaining the crisp edges and fine features that Formlabs is known for.
Key Features
-
Exceptional Surface Finish: Produces parts with a smooth, injection-molded look that effectively hides layer lines, perfect for client-facing models.
-
Balanced Mechanical Properties: Offers a versatile combination of high tensile strength and moderate elongation, making it suitable for both static models and light functional testing.
-
Neutral Base for Finishing: The bright, opaque white colour provides an excellent foundation for painting, plating, or dying to match specific brand colours (CMYK/Pantone).
-
Enhanced Stability: V5 is formulated for improved chemical stability in the resin tank, ensuring consistent results even during low-frequency use.
Ideal Applications
-
Medical Modeling: Anatomical references and surgical planning models that require high visual clarity.
-
Consumer Goods: Prototyping housings for electronics, appliances, and wearable tech.
-
Architectural Models: Clean, minimalist miniatures and site models.
-
Education: Durable, high-detail models for STEM and design classrooms.
FAQ
How Does V5 Compare to the Previous White Resin V4?
V5 is specifically optimized for the Form 4's light engine. It prints significantly faster and offers improved green-state strength, which helps prevent warping on thin-walled parts during the wash and cure process.
Can I Use White Resin V5 in a Form 3 Printer?
No. White Resin V5 is a new formulation designed strictly for the Form 4 series.
Is Post-Curing Required?
Yes. To achieve the full 54 MPa tensile strength and a tack-free surface, parts much be post-cured.
