3D Systems Corporation has introduced Accura ClearVue Plastic, an integrated stereolithography material with excellent transparency, outstanding durability and enhanced yields and manufacturability.
The material produces virtually colourless parts for a wide-range of applications, including automotive headlamp lenses, hydraulic and pneumatic functional models, and form, fit and function parts and prototypes. It also enables designers and engineers to visualise internal structures and simulate lenses and other optical components. This new plastic offers outstanding flexibility and durability with a modulus range that bridges two of the most widely used thermoplastics – ABS and polypropylene. This extends the range of applications for users to produce parts to test snap-fit assemblies and to pursue a range of other applications.
