Materials Available for Stereolithgraphy of Clear Parts
Of the wide number of Stereolithography resins available, there are around half a dozen that demonstrate good levels of clarity albeit that some retain a hint of blue or green.
Whilst these materials are processed in a similar way to standard resins, the 'as built' surfaces then need to be polished to achieve clarity.
These have been tabulated based on the production material that they emulate, together with key strengths. Full details, including mechanical properties, can be found in the downloadable datasheet. (This data is provided by the manufacturers.)
