Announcement: CADimensions Now Stocks Formlabs Materials In-House

Written by Jacquelyn Carbo | Mar 4, 2026 1:12:57 PM

CADimensions is excited to announce we now stock select Formlabs materials in-house and provide service and support for Formlabs Fuse systems throughout the Northeast region. There is no minimum order requirement on stocked materials, but buyers must be in the United States.

For engineering and manufacturing teams running Formlabs systems, that means faster material access, local technical support, and a more responsive supply chain.

We are expanding our additive manufacturing portfolio to help organizations prototype, validate, and scale production with confidence. Whether you need a single cartridge for a deadline or a consistent material supply for production, you can order exactly what you need, when you need it.

Ideal Applications:

    • Form and fit prototyping
    • Enclosures and housings
    • Jigs and fixtures
    • Presentation-ready models with intricate details

If you need strong, stiff parts with a professional matte finish and fast turnaround times, Black Resin V5 delivers.

Clear Resin V5

Clear Resin V5 is optimized for highly transparent, color-neutral parts that can be polished to near optical clarity.

Key Performance Highlights:

    • Ultimate Tensile Strength up to 60 MPa
    • Tensile Modulus up to 2750 MPa
    • Light transmission of 85% at 2 mm thickness
    • Heat Deflection Temperature up to 69°C @ 0.45 MPa

    • Transparent enclosures
    • Optical components
    • Lighting prototypes
    • Fluidic devices
    • Parts that showcase internal features

When clarity and precision matter, Clear Resin V5 gives your team the confidence to present functional, high-quality prototypes.

Grey Resin V5

Grey Resin V5 offers a balanced combination of accuracy, mechanical strength, and a neutral matte finish. Perfect for detailed design validation.

Performance Highlights:

    • Ultimate Tensile Strength up to 62 MPa
    • Tensile Modulus up to 2675 MPa
    • Notched Izod impact up to 36 J/m
    • Heat Deflection Temperature up to 71°C @ 0.45 MPa
    • 3x faster printing on Form 4 systems

Ideal Applications:

    • Form and fit prototyping
    • Detailed presentation models
    • Jigs and fixtures
    • General dental models

Grey Resin V5 is the go-to material for everyday engineering validation.

Tough 1500 Resin V2

Tough 1500 Resin V2 is engineered for parts that need to behave like polypropylene—combining stiffness and ductility in one material.

Mechanical Performance:

    • Ultimate Tensile Strength up to 34 MPa
    • Elongation at Break up to 155% (post-cured)
    • Flexural Modulus up to 1370 MPa
    • Notched Izod up to 45 J/m
    • 10x higher fracture toughness than the previous version

Ideal Applications:

    • Snap fits and self-tapping screw bosses
    • Compliant mechanisms (latches, flexures, dampers)
    • Impact-resistant jigs and fixtures
    • Rugged enclosures

For teams bridging prototyping and production, Tough 1500 V2 delivers the resilience your designs demand.

Form 4 & Form 4L Resin Tanks Available

To support your workflow, CADimensions is also stocking:

    • Form 4 Resin Tank
    • Form 4L Resin Tank

These tanks are engineered to maintain consistent print quality, reduce downtime, and maximize material performance within the Form 4 ecosystem. Whether you're running standard prototyping jobs or high-throughput production cycles, having replacement tanks on hand ensures your team stays productive.

 

SLS Materials:

Nylon 12 Tough Powder

For Fuse users, we are now stocking Nylon 12 Tough Powder designed specifically for the Fuse 1+ 30W platform.
