Somos WaterClear Ultra 10122 is an optically clear SLA resin that makes colourless, accurate parts with an acrylic-like appearance.
Somos WaterClear Ultra 10122 is an optically clear SLA resin that makes colourless, accurate parts with an acrylic-like appearance.
It has a refractive index close to engineering plastics, so clear parts can be used for light transmission tests as well as for lenses, light pipes and master patterns.
