3D print strong, precise concept models and prototypes that bring your ideas to life with Formlabs’ library of Standard Resins. With a matte surface finish, opaque appearance, and precise details, prints are ready to use right off the printer. Their neutral undertone makes a great base for parts that will eventually be painted or undergo other finishing processes.

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.
Consider Grey Resin for:
Ultimate Tensile Strength
65 MPaTensile Modulus
2.8 GPaElongation
6%Flexural Modulus
2.2 GPaNotched Izod
25 J/mHeat Deflection Temp @ 0.45 MPa
73 ºC10 min in IPA
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.

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.
