Optical Clarity Optical clarity refers to the transparency and light transmission quality of 3D printed parts. It is crucial for lenses, light guides, and transparent enclosures. Optical clarity depends on material choice (e.g., clear resins, PETG) and print settings, including layer height, speed, and cooling. Post-processing techniques like sanding, polishing, and resin coating enhance clarity and surface smoothness. Proper calibration of exposure time and layer bonding improves optical performance. Mastering optical clarity enables high-quality transparent prints for functional and aesthetic applications. |
