SLA Clear Resin/Frosted Clear Resin

SLA 3D printing can print Clear Resin/Frosted Resin with a smooth surface, which can achieve the same effect as transparent acrylic.

Material: Resin

Processing technology: SLA

Time: 2 days

Clear Resin/Frosted Resin 3D prints are ideal for creating clear prototype parts, showing internal cavities and details. Applications like LED housings, prototyping lens parts, and microfluidic devices are a few examples of applications 3D-printed with clear resin.

After printing, clear parts often look amazing. They are 100% transparent, which changes when the parts are washed. After washing in IPA or Ethanol, the parts slowly turn into a frost finish once the solvent is drying. To get back to a transparent finish, some post-processing steps are required.

There are a few possibilities to post-process clear parts to get a transparent surface finish. The most used techniques are:

– Sanding and polishing
– Resin dipping
– Nitrogen UV-curing
– Spray coating

The Performance of SLA Clear Resin

Clear resin SLA has a semi-transparent appearance but can be post-processed to a smooth and almost fully optically clear finish.
