Experience the Benefits
Reduced finishing effort
With most colors printed right off the machine, you significantly cut down on painting, dyeing or other post-processing labor.
Uniform, professional finish
Because the pigment is mixed directly into the resin base material, prints come out with consistent color throughout the part (not just surface dyed) and with a matte, opaque finish.
Brand and aesthetic alignment
The ability to match specific colors and print directly in those colors means prototypes or models can more closely align with branding, marketing visuals or final product appearance.
Full-spectrum color creation
The pigments (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, White) let you mix up to the 16 tested color recipes or make custom colors for a broad palette.

frequently asked questions
What are Formlabs Color Pigments used for?
They’re designed to be mixed with the Color Base Resin as part of the Color Kit to create custom-colored resins for SLA 3D printing.
Can I mix color pigments directly into other Formlabs resins?
No. Pigments must only be used with the Color Base Resin. Mixing them into other resins (like Clear or Tough) may cause curing issues or print failure.
How much color pigment do I add to the Color Base?
Use 100 mL of pigment mixture (from one or more bottles) per Color Base cartridge, following one of the 16 tested color recipes or your own custom blend.
Are the color pigments reusable across multiple cartridges?
Yes — each bottle contains 115 mL, enough for more than one mix, depending on the colors and ratios used. Store pigments tightly sealed to prevent drying.
How should I store the color pigment bottles?
Keep pigments in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight or heat. Always shake well before use to maintain even pigment consistency.
