![]() Not every resin is suitable for long lasting transparent parts. There are a wide range of clear resins available for 3D-printing. A post-processing step is necessary to create long-lasting transparent plastic parts.įigure 1: Parts 3D-printed with Liqcreate Clear Impact resin, on the left part fresh from the printer, middle after washing and drying, on the right after coating. After washing and drying, the transparency is lost and the part has a “frost” finish (middle bottle). Often, first-time-users are surprised by the transparency of parts fresh from the printer, as seen in the Coca-Cola bottle in the image below on the left side. ![]() ![]() One of the challenges in resin 3D-printing is to produce perfect transparent parts that will not yellow over time. Resin 3D-printing is one of the only 3D-printing technologies that can create high resolution transparent plastic parts. Learn how propmaker Campman Animatronics used Clear Impact to 3D-print a transparant transverse flute for the Dutch Queens 50th birthday. Applications like LED housings, prototyping lens parts and microfluidic devices are a few examples of application 3D-printed with clear resin. Clear and transparent 3D prints are ideal for creating clear prototype parts, showing internal cavities and details. ![]()
