Formlabs Grey Resin V5 is an exceptionally versatile General Purpose Resin, offering an optimal balance of fast print speed and high accuracy for Sydney additive manufacturing requirements. Developed specifically for the Form 4 ecosystem, this material prints three times faster than previous formulations whilst maintaining a rich, matte colour that captures fine features and intricate details with high contrast [1, 2].
Expert Tip: Grey Resin V5 is the preferred material for iterative design and form-fit testing. To achieve the maximum flexural modulus of 2750 MPa, parts must be post-cured for 15 minutes at 60°C [2, 9].
Key Technical Applications
- Rapid Prototyping: Ideal for form and fit testing where high dimensional accuracy is critical [2].
- General Dental Models: The matte finish and neutral tone are suitable for orthodontic and restorative models [2].
- Manufacturing Aids: Provides the stiffness and strength required for shop-floor jigs and fixtures [2].
Technical Note: Whilst this material excels in detail and stability, it exhibits a 4.9% weight gain when exposed to Acetone over 24 hours. Ensure solvent compatibility is reviewed if parts are intended for fluid-exposed environments [9, 11].
Technical Specifications (Post-Cured)
