Product Description

BioMed Amber Resin V1 is a biocompatible, translucent amber material for making medical and dental parts that require contact. It is appropriate for long-term skin contact (more than 30 days), and is also suitable for short-term contact (less than 24 hours) with bone, tissue, mucosal membrane, and dentin.

This 3D printing resin is compatible with common solvent disinfection and sterilization methods. It is available in a 1-liter volume and is compatible with several Formlabs SLA printers, including Form 2, Form 3B, Form 3B+, Form 3BL, Form 4B, and Form 4BL.

This material has passed rigorous biocompatibility testing and is a USP Class VI certified material. BioMed Amber Resin is manufactured in Formlabs' FDA-registered, ISO 13485 certified facility.
