Formlabs Clear Resin Material

What is Formlabs Translucent/Clear Resin? 

Formlabs Translucent/Clear resin offers fine detail and the stiffness of a general-purpose SLA resin. Parts have a semi-clear standard finish; additional sanding and polishing can improve transparency and reveal internal features.

Formlabs Translucent/Clear Resin Overview

Applications

Formlabs Translucent/Clear resin is useful for prototypes that show internal channels, fluid flow, or the way an assembly works. Common uses include semi-clear housing prototypes, flow-visualisation models, and display models with visible internal features. Additional clear finishing can improve visibility through the part.

Key Product Benefits

  • Clarity improved by additional finishing
  • Fine detail reproduction

Tolerances

For well-designed parts, dimensional accuracy of ±0.3% of the nominal dimension, with a minimum tolerance of ±0.3 mm (±0.012 in.), can typically be achieved. Tolerances may vary depending on part geometry.
