Formlabs Custom Tray Resin, 5L

Formlabs Custom Tray Resin, 5L

Optimizing dental laboratory workflows requires materials that deliver both speed and clinical precision. Formlabs Custom Tray Resin, 5L is a specialized, biocompatible material designed for the high-volume production of custom impression trays. This large-format 5-liter container is specifically intended for use with the Formlabs Resin Pump system, enabling automated resin dispensing for continuous production. By utilizing this advanced resin, dental professionals can directly print patient-specific trays that ensure consistent, highly accurate impressions for implants, dentures, crowns, and bridges, significantly improving the efficiency of the digital dentistry workflow.

Why Choose Formlabs Custom Tray Resin?

Rapid Production Capabilities

This material is engineered to transform the traditional impression process into a streamlined digital operation. Formlabs Custom Tray Resin, 5L allows for the rapid fabrication of full impression trays using 200-micron layer heights. This fast-printing capability drastically reduces labor time and increases throughput, making it an ideal choice for busy dental labs that require a production-ready material.

Precision and Biocompatibility

Beyond speed, the resin ensures that every tray is perfectly matched to the patient's unique anatomy. This "made-to-measure" approach guarantees an even distribution of impression material, resulting in highly accurate definitive models for complex cases. Furthermore, as a biocompatible class I material, it provides the necessary safety and peace of mind for both the clinician and the patient during the impression-taking process.

Applications and Usage

Versatile Clinical Solutions

Leverage the properties of this resin to capture intricate anatomical details required for high-quality restorative dentistry. It is the optimal choice for creating custom impression trays for crown and bridge work, extensive implant cases, and full dentures. The digital workflow eliminates the inconsistencies of manual tray fabrication, ensuring a perfect fit every time.

Design and Workflow Requirements

To successfully utilize Formlabs Custom Tray Resin, a complete Formlabs ecosystem is recommended. This includes a biocompatible SLA printer (such as the Form 3B or Form 4B series), the latest PreForm software, and dedicated consumables like resin tanks and build platforms to maintain biocompatibility. When designing in dental CAD software, ensure a minimum wall thickness of 2 mm and a handle thickness of 3 mm. For cases using heavy impression materials, adding retention holes of at least 3 mm in diameter is advised.

Printing and Post-Processing

Setup and Orientation

Before printing, verify that you are using a resin tank compatible with the material to protect your equipment. In PreForm, select the correct material settings and orient the model so that the intaglio surfaces face away from the build platform; this preserves the fine details necessary for a good fit. Note that the 5L container requires the Formlabs Resin Pump for operation.

Washing and Curing

Post-processing is a critical step for all biocompatible materials to meet regulatory safety standards. Parts must be washed in Isopropyl Alcohol (≥ 99%) using a Form Wash or ultrasonic unit to remove excess resin. If the tray features internal channels, ensure they are thoroughly flushed. Finally, the parts must undergo post-curing in a Form Cure unit to achieve their optimal mechanical properties.
