Draft V2 Resin
The Renowned Rapid Prototyping Resin
Draft resin is well-known for its capability of 3D printing parts and prototypes quickly and runnning through multiple design iterations (so-called "drafts") in a day. For faster 3D printing times, you can use 200-micron settings, or 100-micron for finer details models.
Draft Resin. Up to 4x Faster Prototyping
Draft Resin prints up to four times faster than Formlabs’ General Purpose Resins on Form 3 Series printers. This speed makes it perfect for creating initial prototypes and rapid iterations, accelerating product development and market readiness. It’s also well-suited for the dental industry, producing orthodontic models used in thermoforming clear aligners and retainers. The parts have a smooth grey finish and maintain high accuracy.

Draft V.2 Resin | Usages & Advantages
High 3D Printing Speed
Draft resin 3D prints up to 4x faster than Formlabs standard resins, allowing designers and engineers to produce same-day iterations and full-build-volume parts in less than eight hours.
Exceptional Aesthetics
Draft resin offers a professional grey finish for 3D-printed models or prototypes.
Part Quality & Ease of Use
Draft V2 resin formulation ensures a reduced layer thickness by 33%, improving surface finish & accuracy. Moreover, it helped reduce support touchpoints and post-processing times.

TEMPERATURE
70 ºC
Draft Resin offers two post-cure settings to enhance your 3D-printed parts. To eliminate surface tackiness, post-cure without heat for 5 minutes. For increased tensile strength, post-cure at 60 °C for 5 minutes.
