eBook – The Production and Use of Clear Parts with 3D Printing

Achieving transparent 3D-printed parts can be challenging if you don’t have the right materials and technology, but the value and versatility of clear parts makes finding the right materials a hurdle worth vaulting.


Achieving transparent 3D-printed parts can be challenging if you don’t have the right materials and technology, but the value and versatility of clear parts makes finding the right materials a hurdle worth vaulting.

Clear, 3D-printed parts have several advantages over opaque parts, including their ability to mimic other transparent materials like glass and acrylic, as well as the ability to aid in design verification. Additionally, clear parts can be used in appearance modeling and in several medical applications. What’s more, since 3D printing allows users to rapidly iterate through geometries that would be difficult or expensive to produce, clear parts produced through additive manufacturing can be built quickly and at a low cost, accelerating the product design process.

In this eBook you will learn:

  • What it takes to produce clear, 3D-printed parts.
  • About the numerous applications where clear, 3D-printed parts can be valuable.
  • What in-house and on-demand solutions are available for 3D-printing clear parts.
