SLA Material – Clear General Purpose

Materials for High Resolution Models and Rapid Prototyping.

High Detail. For demanding applications, our carefully-engineered resins
capture the finest features in your model.
Strong and Precise. These resins create accurate and robust parts, ideal for
rapid prototyping, functional testing and product development.
Smooth Surface Finish. Perfectly smooth right out of the printer, parts
printed on our stereolithography printers have the polish and
finish of a final product.

Common Applications:

Lighting and lenses
Fluid flow visualization models
Transparent assemblies
Packaging/bottles
Medical models and devices
Prototypes of conformal cooling molds
Models requiring high clarity
Headlamps, Windows, IR Lens
Medical Models and Medical Devices

Finish / Color Options:

Clear – Level 1 Strip & Ship – Excess resin is cleaned off the parts and supports are removed. Support surfaces are not sanded and are left rough. Part is transparent but layer lines are visible and looking through the part will be blurry.

Clear – Level 1 Bead Blast– Support surfaces are sanded. Bead blast applied to entire part for uniform finish. Parts have a smoked appearance like a milk jug.

Clear – Level 2 Rough Coat– Rough support areas are sanded smooth and the part is clear coated, layer lines will be visible in the clear coat but you can easily see through the part and make out details on the other side.

Clear – Level 3 Optical Coat – Layer lines removed from the entire part by hand sanding, Part is then clear coated and its as close to being optically clear* as is possible.
