Translucent Resin
SLA photosensitive resin has high transparency and low viscosity. These components are manufactured at the cost of reduced transparency, superior strength and toughness, high precision and good dimensional stability. Resin can produce components with a lifespan of 6.5 months or more. Ideal for automotive, medical, consumer electronics and other industries investing in master models, concept models and general parts, which require a high degree of transparency.

Best for
Adding custom color and a protective paint layer to Translucent Resin parts for appearance and display models.
Note
Validate paint adhesion, masking boundaries, and coating coverage on Translucent Resin before production, especially around interfaces, edges, and fine details.
Silk Screening
Print method
Single- or multi-color graphics on flat or gently curved surfaces
Best for
Applying logos, labels, or functional graphics to flat areas of Translucent Resin parts used for appearance and display models.
Note
Confirm printable area, ink adhesion, and graphic registration on Translucent Resin before production.
Vacuum Plating
Finish options
Glossy and matte plated finishes available
Best for
Creating a reflective metallic finish on Translucent Resin parts for appearance and display models and appearance-led builds.
Note
Confirm line-of-sight coverage, masking, and plating adhesion on Translucent Resin before production.
Polishing
Surface result
Smoother, glossier visible surfaces where geometry allows
Best for
Improving smoothness and gloss on Translucent Resin parts used for appearance and display models, where geometry permits.
Note
Confirm edge retention and dimensional impact on Translucent Resin; fine features may soften during polishing.
Clear / Transparency Treatment
Optical result
Improved translucency or transparency for clear materials
Best for
Improving light transmission on Translucent Resin parts for appearance and display models and transparent visual models.
Note
Validate optical clarity, masking, and thickness uniformity on Translucent Resin; transparency depends on geometry and treatment.

Related & Alternative Materials
SLA · Resins
Transparent Clear Resin
SLA · Transparent
This SLA photosensitive resin has the characteristics of high transparency and low viscosity. This material has excellent strength and toughness while ensuring high transparency, and can achieve high-precision molding and good dimensional stability. Resin printed parts can be stored for up to 6.5 months or longer. It is suitable for industries such as automobiles, medical health, and consumer electronics, and is used to make master molds, concept models, and general parts that require high transparency.

Standard Resin (White)
SLA · White
Standard Resin (white) has excellent surface details and pure white texture. It is one of the most commonly used resin materials and has excellent dimensional accuracy. This material is suitable for pipe parts, fasteners, electronic product casings, automobile casings and instrument panel components, etc. that require high toughness and heat resistance. Prints come offline and are ready to use, with a matte finish, opaque appearance and precise detail.
SLA · Resins
High-temp-150D Resin
SLA · Transparent Red
High-temp-150D resin is a red, transparent, low-viscosity liquid stereolithography (SLA) resin. Its molded parts have excellent high-temperature resistance and can be used at temperatures up to 150°C under no-load conditions. Its toughness is slightly worse than other industrial prototyping materials, and it is not suitable for printing thin-walled parts of 0.3 mm and below. It is suitable for printing temperature-resistant samples such as rapid molds and electroplating. The material is particularly suitable for making high-resolution, strong models and is widely used in industries that have strict requirements on temperature resistance, such as high-temperature baking paint, electroplating processes and rapid mold manufacturing.
