FormLabs Resin Surgical Guide

Biocompatible resin for precision surgical guides

Formlabs Surgical Guide Resin is a Class I biocompatible resin designed specifically for 3D printing highly precise and strong dental surgical guides. Compatible with the Form 3B , Form 3B+ , and Form 2 , this resin is ideal for rapidly producing perforated guides, implant guides, and custom surgical guides.

After washing with Form Wash and the post-curing cycle, the models can be sterilized in an autoclave. Tests show that the printed guides maintain dimensional stability and mechanical properties after treatment.
