Why Choose Formlabs Grey Resin V5?

Highest Dimensional Accuracy

Dial in precision prototypes and assemblies with excellent repeatability — built for the Form 4 ecosystem.

Matte, Presentation-Ready Finish

A rich, matte grey that captures fine features cleanly and photographs beautifully for reviews, approvals, and client demos.

Balanced Strength + Stiffness

Produce parts that feel stiff and strong — ideal for form & fit checks, housings, enclosures, and workshop fixtures.

What’s New in V5

Designed to print up to 3× faster than the previous version on Form 4, while improving performance and maintaining an easy workflow.

Applications

Grey Resin V5 is built for day-to-day prototyping where you need dependable accuracy, clean detail, and a surface finish that looks “finished” straight off the printer.

Consider Grey Resin V5 for:

  • Form & fit prototyping (snap-fits, enclosures, assemblies)
  • Presentation-ready models with fine features and crisp edges
  • General dental models where detail visibility matters
  • Jigs & fixtures for the workshop and production floor

Pro tip: A short post-cure reduces surface tack and boosts stiffness/heat deflection for functional parts.

Workflow Overview

Grey Resin V5 follows a simple print + wash + (optional) post-cure SLA workflow. For best results, use compatible equipment and follow the recommended wash and cure settings.

  • Print using the recommended Grey Resin V5 preset on your Form 4 Series printer.
  • Wash to remove surface resin (typically in ≥99% IPA, per validated guidance).
  • Post-cure (recommended) to reduce surface tack and improve performance:
    • Fast turnaround: 5 minutes at room temperature
    • Enhanced properties: 15 minutes at 60 °C
  • Finish supports and surfaces as needed for presentation or functional use.

FAQ

1) What is Grey Resin V5 best used for?

Fast, accurate prototypes and presentation-ready models with fine detail — plus practical jigs & fixtures where a stiff, strong resin is ideal.

2) Do I need to post-cure parts?

Post-curing is optional, but recommended to reduce surface tack and improve mechanical properties. Choose a fast ambient cure or an enhanced heated cure depending on your needs.

3) Which printers is it compatible with?

Grey Resin V5 is offered for the Form 4 Series and is listed for use with Form 4, Form 4B, Form 4L, and Form 4BL configurations.
