Clear Cast Resin

Clear Cast Resin Description

Clear Cast Resin is a resin designed for investment casting, to directly print patterns that can be invested and cast. It has an extremely low thermal expansion, low ash, and no trace heavy metals.

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

Key Points

Accessible pattern production in-house

Clear Cast Resin on Formlabs SLA printers enables direct production of casting patterns in-house which reduces costs, decreases turnaround times, and improves flexibility in iterating and production.

Clean Burnout

Clear Cast Resin achieves a clean burnout with low ash and no trace metals, leaving nothing to contaminate the final cast part. 

Low Thermal Expansion

Best in class thermal expansion for reliable casting shells with minimal cracking.

Accurate and Versatile

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

Built from Experience

Formlabs has produced industry leading investment casting resins for large, 3rd party SLA printers at its state of the art manufacturing facility in Ohio, and leveraged this experience in developing Clear Cast Resin for its own SLA printers.
