Formlabs has launched Colour V5, a new resin designed to help professionals achieve rich, consistent colour directly from the printer. This fully pigmented material eliminates the need for painting or additional finishing, allowing designers and engineers to create prototypes and parts that closely resemble final products. Colour V5 features smooth surfaces, sharp details, and opaque finishes that enhance visual appeal and facilitate effective communication with clients and stakeholders. With this new material, users can easily produce models that look polished and professional right out of the build platform.
Alongside Colour V5, Formlabs introduced True Cast Resin, a specialised material developed for investment casting applications. This resin is ideal for jewelers and metalworking professionals who need precise, clean castings. True Cast Resin burns out completely, leaving no ash or residue, and produces high-quality metal parts with smooth surfaces and fine details. Its ability to capture intricate features makes it perfect for complex designs, while its compatibility with standard burnout processes streamlines production and reduces costs compared to traditional casting methods.
These two new materials underscore Formlabs’ commitment to expanding the possibilities of accessible 3D printing. By offering high-performance options that seamlessly combine aesthetics with functionality, Formlabs empowers creators to transition from concept to final product confidently. Whether producing vibrant display models or detailed metal pieces, users can rely on Colour V5 and True Cast Resin to meet demanding design and manufacturing needs.
With the introduction of Colour V5 and True Cast Resin, Formlabs continues to push the boundaries of desktop 3D printing. These materials provide designers, artists, and manufacturers with additional tools to bring their visions to life quickly and cost-effectively, while maintaining exceptional quality and precision.
