Formlabs BioMed Clear Resin is a premium, biocompatible photopolymer designed specifically for medical applications. As part of the Tough_ABS_Like family, this resin offers an exceptional balance of hardness and flexibility, making it ideal for parts requiring high mechanical performance. Unlike brittle standard resins, BioMed Clear delivers high impact strength similar to ABS plastics, while maintaining outstanding detail resolution and surface quality. This clear resin is exclusively optimized for Formlabs Form 3 and Form 3B printers using Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) technology, ensuring precise and reliable results. Post-processing requires thorough washing in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and curing under UV light in a curing chamber to achieve final mechanical properties and ensure complete polymerization. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including dental products (such as orthodontic models and surgical guides), medical devices, engineering prototypes, and transparent housings. Due to its biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1 compliant), it is safe for applications involving prolonged skin contact. Safety precautions are essential: always wear nitrile gloves and safety glasses, and ensure proper ventilation. Uncured resin is an irritant and must be kept away from sunlight. Post-processing steps include removing support structures and optional sanding or polishing to enhance optical clarity.
