2025 Edition Professional 3D Printer Buyers Guide

Choosing the right 3D printer doesn't have to be difficult. Find the perfect printer for your application. This in-depth guide covers pricing, materials, dimensional accuracy, and more.
Download nowGrey Resin is an excellent choice for general-purpose prototyping, design, and models with intricate details. Its matte surface finish, opaque appearance, and high precision ensure that prints are ready to use straight from the printer. The neutral undertone also serves as an ideal base for painting or other finishing processes.
Grey Resin V4.1 is compatible with Form 3 Series printers and offers improved toughness compared to Grey Resin V4, making it even more durable for a wide range of applications.
Please Note: Compatible with Form 3, 3B, 3L and 3BL printers only.

Grey Resin is perfect for general-purpose prototyping and design, and models with intricate details. With a matte surface finish, opaque appearance, and precise details, prints are ready to use right off the printer. Its neutral undertone makes a great base for parts that will eventually be painted or undergo other finishing processes.
Grey Resin is perfect for general-purpose prototyping and design, excellent for capturing small details.
Supports print resolutions of 100 microns
Grey Resin V4.1 is compatible with Form 3 Series printers. Grey Resin V4.1 produces tougher parts compared to Grey Resin V4.
Leverage Grey Resin to iterate on high-resolution prototypes and models that capture astonishing detail without sacrificing strength.
Produce prints with smooth, opaque surfaces ideal for model making and looks-like prototyping, rivaling injection-molded plastics.
Start using your parts quickly, as Formlabs’ Standard Resins only need minimal post-processing.
Create elegant, enticing parts without sanding, polishing, or priming.
Paint or use other finishing processes to elevate your model or prototype.
Grey Resin supports high detail with a smooth, matte surface finish with great mechanical properties.

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.

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.
