About Project

Check out these stunning frosted-clear prototypes! Manufactured through high-resolution SLA 3D printing and enhanced with professional finishing, they combine technical accuracy with refined surface aesthetics.

馃敼 Outstanding Detail: From intricate connector housings to fine mesh structures, every feature is faithfully reproduced.馃敼 Functional Transparency: Semi-clear resin lets engineers inspect internal geometries while maintaining a sleek, frosted appearance.馃敼 Enhanced Post-Processing: Each part has been carefully polished and sandblasted, giving them a uniform matte finish while improving durability.馃敼 Versatile Applications: Ideal for automotive, consumer electronics, appliances, and fluid system prototypes, where both performance and looks matter.

At FacFox, we specialize in high-quality transparent and frosted parts, providing clients with realistic, presentation-ready models that support design validation and marketing needs. Whether you need visual prototypes, functional testing, or short-run production, our team ensures precision and consistency in every project.

馃殌 Bring your designs to life with professional-grade frosted clear 3D prints – only at FacFox.

Solution

  • Step 1: CAD files were received and a DFM review was completed for wall thickness, lattice integrity, text legibility, and assembly tolerances.
  • Step 2: Print orientation and support strategy were optimized in the slicer to protect optical faces and delicate pins/features.
  • Step 3: Clear SLA resin was prepared, and the machine build platform was cleaned and leveled.
  • Step 4: Parts were SLA-printed at high resolution (25-50 碌m layers) to capture fine details and sharp edges.
  • Step 5: The build was drained and washed in two stages of fresh IPA; internal channels were flushed to remove uncured resin.
  • Step 6: Supports were removed, witness marks were trimmed, and edges were lightly deburred.
  • Step 7: UV post-curing was performed in a controlled cycle to achieve full mechanical properties while minimizing yellowing.
  • Step 8: Surfaces were equalized by progressive wet-sanding (鈮600鈫1200 grit) to smooth joints and blend support interfaces.
  • Step 9: A uniform frosted finish was created by fine glass-bead sandblasting at low pressure; critical fit/optical areas were masked.
  • Step 10: Local polishing was selectively performed where semi-clear windows were required; the frosted texture was retained elsewhere.
  • Step 11: Final cleaning and anti-static drying were completed; parts were inspected for dimensional accuracy, surface uniformity, and assembled fit, then packaged in dust-free pouches.
