Formlabs has announced Creator Series, a new line of low-cost, safe resins for consumers designed to deliver performance, safety, and quality to the hobbyist resin market.

Creator Series will launch with its first two resins – Creator Tough Resin and Creator Super Clear Resin – that enable hobbyist printers to produce aesthetically pleasing and high-quality minis, figurines, and other low-impact parts. The new resins are packaged in a basic plastic bottle, rather than a cartridge, to be poured directly into the resin tank by hand, offering a more simplified user experience with reduced mechanical properties.

These resins are formulated without harmful chemicals typically found in low-cost hobbyist resins, including 4-Acryloylmorpholine (ACMO) that creates a harmful vapor and bad odor when heated and can cause skin rashes and burns.
