Clear Cast Resin

Formlabs Clear Cast Resin on Formlabs SLA 3D printers enables direct production of investment casting patterns in-house, thus reducing costs, decreasing turnaround times, and improving flexibility. It has best-in-class thermal expansion and a clean burnout with minimal ash and no trace metals. 

Clear Cast Resin, paired with latticing software, is recommended for use with larger parts. It excels at producing geometries thicker than 3 mm.

Material Highlights

• Accessible pattern production in-house
• Clear Cast Resin achieves a clean burnout with low ash and no trace metals, leaving nothing contaminating the final cast part. It's fully antimony-free.
• Low thermal expansion for reliable casting shells with minimal cracking.
• Create accurate patterns within 0.25 mm of the design. Compatible with any metal or shelling system, allowing foundries to cast new designs in record time.
