3D Printing in Clear Resin with FAMA 3D

In the ever-evolving world of 3D printing, clear resin is emerging as one of the most exciting options for achieving high-quality 3D printed parts with impeccable finishes.

What is 3D Printing in Clear Resin?

3D printing in resin uses technology that employs liquid resin, hardened through a controlled polymerization process. Thanks to the use of SLA and DLP technologies, the transparent parts created are of extraordinary clarity and precision. This process allows for 3D printing of transparent parts that can be used in a wide range of industrial applications.

How to Achieve a Perfect Surface Finish?

Achieving an impeccable finish on 3D printed parts is essential for many applications, especially when aiming for transparency and optical precision. Sanding, followed by a spray coating and polishing, are crucial steps in the post-processing process. Using sandpaper and microfiber polishing, a smooth and flawless surface can be achieved.

Why Choose Clear Resin?

Clear resin offers unique advantages, such as the ability to create optically transparent parts that can be used in optical devices, rapid prototyping, and medical applications. Using clear resin allows for obtaining highly transparent parts that simulate the clarity of glass, but with the versatility and resilience of plastics.

Which Industrial Applications Benefit from Transparent 3D Printing?

Transparent 3D prints find application in various sectors, including optics, lens prototyping, the medical industry for creating transparent devices, and even in design furnishings with transparent 3D decorative elements. The process of post-polymerization through ultraviolet (UV) radiation ensures complete hardening and stability of the transparent parts.

What Materials Do We Use at FAMA 3D?

At FAMA 3D, we are proud to use a range of high-quality resins, including Biomed Clear Resin, ideal for medical applications, and for parts that require some elasticity. Our selection of materials allows us to meet the specific needs of each project.

How is the Post-Processing Process Performed?

The post-processing process of 3D printed parts includes sanding, the application of a spray coating, and final polishing. We use specific solvents and polishing techniques to achieve a smooth and clear surface. This process is essential to ensure that the printed parts are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally effective.

What Role Does Polishing Play in Enhancing Transparency?

Polishing is a crucial step in enhancing the transparency of 3D printed parts. After initial sanding, we apply a clear acrylic varnish using a spray can to improve glossiness and protect the surface. This process not only enhances clarity but also makes the printed parts scratch-resistant.
