Clear when polished — the transparent SLA for optics and showpieces.
KS158T is Kings' transparent SLA resin: it polishes to a glass-like clarity and is available glass-clear or frosted, capturing internal channels and features for light guides, fluidics and presentation models. Like standard resin it is brittle and yellows slowly under UV unless coated.
The clear resin is used for see-through parts: lenses, light pipes, fluidic channels, bottle and packaging mock-ups, and any visual model where transparency sells the idea.
Very smooth off the printer; polishes to glass-like clarity or can be left frosted for diffusion.
Available glass-like clear or frosted, per manufacturer.
