BioMed Amber Resin is a strong, stiff material for biocompatible applications requiring long-term skin (>30 days) or short-term bone, tissue, dentin, and mucosal membrane contact (<24 hours). Parts printed with BioMed Amber Resin are compatible with common solvent disinfection and sterilization methods.
BioMed Amber Resin is manufactured in our FDA-registered, ISO 13485-certified facility.

Post-Processing
Washing
BioMed Amber Resin may be washed using either a Formlabs-validated wash unit or an ultrasonic wash unit.
The foundational step in any SLA post-processing workflow is to remove excess resin on the surface of the parts through an alcohol wash. Please refer to the material's manufacturing guide/IFU for washing instructions.
