Formlabs - Form Studio 1 Resin Tank
Formlabs Form Studio 1 Resin Tank
The Form Studio 1 Resin Tank is available in both Standard and Pro versions, designed for different resin chemical compatibility and material workflows, making it more efficient to switch materials, store resin, and handle daily printing with the Form Studio 1.
Form Studio 1 Resin Tank
The Form Studio 1 Resin Tank is a durable and flexible resin tank designed for high-speed printing and the restoration of intricate features.
Each resin tank comes with a reusable lid, allowing for the safe storage of resin outside the printer and convenient stacking for storage.
If you use multiple resin colors or material types, you can configure a separate resin tank for each. When switching materials, simply remove the current resin tank and slide in another to start a new print job quickly.
Compatible Materials for Standard Resin Tank
This version has been optimized for chemical compatibility and is suitable for use with the following Form Studio 1 resins:
- Alpha Resin Series
- Flexible 80A Resin V2
- True Cast Resin
Durable design for at least 75,000 layers
The Form Studio 1 Standard Resin Tank can operate stably for at least 75,000 layers of printing.
Based on an average model height of 39 mm and a layer thickness of 100 μm, this is equivalent to approximately 190 print jobs.
Form Studio 1 Resin Tank Pro
The Form Studio 1 Resin Tank Pro also features a durable and flexible design but is further optimized for broader chemical compatibility, making it suitable for Tough 1500 Resin V2 and materials that require Open Material Mode.
The Resin Tank Pro also includes a reusable lid for convenient resin storage outside the machine and space-saving stacking.
By configuring a separate tank for different resins, you can simply swap tanks when changing materials instead of emptying the resin, further simplifying multi-material workflows.
Use Cases for Resin Tank Pro
- Using Tough 1500 Resin V2.
- Using materials that require Open Material Mode.
- Workflows requiring broader material chemical compatibility.
- Frequent material development, testing, or third-party material applications.

How to Choose the Right Form Studio 1 Resin Tank?
Choose the Standard Resin Tank
If you primarily use Alpha Resin, Flexible 80A Resin V2, or True Cast Resin, the Standard version is sufficient for general Form Studio 1 printing needs.
Choose the Resin Tank Pro
If you need to use Tough 1500 Resin V2, Open Material Mode, or a broader range of third-party materials, the Pro version is recommended.
