BioMed Durable Resin is a transparent 3D printing material for biocompatible applications requiring impact, shatter, and abrasion resistance. This USP Class VI material can be used in applications for long-term skin (>30 days) and mucosal membrane (>30 hours) or short-term tissue, bone, and dentin contact (<24 hours).
BioMed Durable Resin is manufactured in our FDA-registered, ISO 13485-certified facility and is also USP Class VI certified, which makes it suitable for pharmaceutical and drug delivery applications.

Post-Processing
Manufacturing Guide: BioMed Durable Resin
Washing
BioMed Durable 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 or IFU for washing instructions.
