Mitarepo: How transparent can 3D printer transparent materials be?
[Mitarepo] How transparent does transparent resin become with a 3D printer? I tried it out!
"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. The theme of Vol. 14 is "How transparent can 3D printer clear materials be?" In this issue, we used the clear resin of the light-curing 3D printer "Form 3+" to create a plate and tested how much transparency we could achieve. The materials examine the differences in transparency due to thickness and how much transparency can be obtained through finishing processes, with actual work being conducted to verify this. "Isn't transparent resin just at a translucent level?" "Does achieving transparency require a lot of work?" We will explain the concerns regarding the "work and finish" related to creating transparent models, along with actual shaping and work scenes, as well as comments from the technical staff! *You can download the materials from the button below.
