Color Kit is the first integrated color mixing solution for resin 3D printing. It enables 3D printing in a range of colors without the manual work of finishing, dying, or painting.
Color Base Resin is the foundation to mix with any Color Kit pigment and create Color Resin. Restock on Color Base Resin to mix with any Color Kit pigment and create Color Resin.
Printer Compatibility:
Form 4 and Form 4B
Resin Tank Compatibility:
Form 4 Resin Tank
Build Platform Compatibility:
Form 4 Build Platform and Form 4 Build Platform Flex
Restock on Color Base Resin to create color models right off the printer with pigments available in Color Kit.
Pair Color Base Resin and Color Kit to create consistent colors throughout the entire part.
Print parts that have the polish and finish of a final product.
Use every bit of Color Pigment by replenishing your Color Base Resin.
Color Base Resin paired with Color Kit is ideal for field testing aesthetic prototypes and concept models.
Consider Color Base Resin for:
Ultimate Tensile Strength
65 MPaTensile Modulus
2.6 GPaElongation
1.937 GPaStrain at break
6%Flexural Modulus
2.2 GPaNotched Izod
25 J/mHeat Deflection Temp @ 0.45 MPa
73ºC* Material properties may vary based on part geometry, print orientation, print settings, and temperature. Data was obtained from parts printed using Form 2, 100 μm, Clear settings and post-cured with 1.25 mW/cm³ of 405 nm LED light for 60 minutes at 60°C.
10 minutes
NOTES
When using a single wash bucket, residue from previously washed parts deposits on part surfaces. If washing darker-colored materials like Black Resin in the same wash bucket as lighter-colored materials like White Resin or Clear Resin, some color transfer may occur.
30 min
60 °C
NOTES
All standard opaque Formlabs resins (including Grey, Black, White, Color, and Model Resin) have equivalent mechanical properties. While the recommended post-cure time is 30 minutes, post-curing for 60 minutes will result in a small additional gain in tensile modulus. This post-cure setting can be used with any of these resins.
