The Ideal Material for Transparent Prototypes and Visual Models
NextShapes Clean Pro Resin is a colorless, transparent photopolymer material with a glass-like appearance. After proper full transparency post-processing, printed parts achieve exceptional clarity, high light transmission, and a smooth, refined surface that is resistant to cracking.
This material is especially suitable for aesthetic transparent prototypes, transparent housings, rapid prototyping, and visual simulation applications in modern 3D printing for product design workflows. Clean Pro’s core advantages include high transparency, high hardness, easy cleaning, and bubble-free performance. It is compatible with both 405nm LCD and DLP 3D printing systems.
As a high-performance 3d resin, Clean Pro brings industrial-grade transparent material performance to designers, engineers, and product developers, enabling high-quality transparent prototyping directly in everyday workflows powered by Icd 3d printing technology.
“Clean Pro allows design studios and engineering labs to print with a material that combines optical transparency and mechanical durability—something that previously often required expensive outsourcing. The surface quality achieved with this resin is outstanding, and post-processing can produce a glass-like transparency comparable to injection-molded clear parts. This combination of cost-effectiveness and performance is highly valuable to our prototyping community.”

Customers using 405nm LCD or DLP 3D printing systems can now significantly expand their in-house additive manufacturing capabilities with Clean Pro, bringing professional-grade transparent materials directly to the desktop.
Thanks to its clean-cut formulation, the material produces very low odor during printing, minimal shrinkage, and excellent detail retention. Printed parts already feature a refined surface finish when removed from the build platform, and can be further enhanced through polishing and clear coating to achieve near-optical transparency.
Once fully processed, every 3D printed component can reach a premium glass-like visual effect, making it ideal for high-end prototyping and presentation models.
Clean Pro is fully aligned with advanced 3d printing for product design pipelines and is compatible with a wide range of open LCD/DLP ecosystems—from desktop devices to production-grade systems. NextShapes delivers a clear value proposition: high quality, high cost-performance, and high accessibility.
“We have been using NextShapes resins in our prototyping workflow for years, and Clean Pro has significantly raised our expectations for transparent materials. The clarity achieved at 50-micron layer height is astonishing—all fine details are perfectly preserved, and post-processed parts deliver the premium glass-like aesthetic our clients love. The bubble-free formulation also eliminates the risk of print failure due to internal defects. This material truly delivers what we need.”

Evolving Transparent Prototyping Workflow
Digital manufacturing has transformed many industries, and product development is no exception. From consumer electronics and medical devices to automotive interiors and architectural models, the combination of 3D printing, 3D scanning, and CAD design enables the creation of advanced prototypes using high-performance 3d resin, significantly shortening time-to-market.
In this ecosystem, Icd 3d printing technology plays a key role in achieving precision and repeatability for transparent functional parts.
Whether designers need transparent housings to visualize internal assemblies, engineers require clear prototypes for fluid flow analysis, or product teams must present high-quality demonstration models to stakeholders, clarity and surface quality are critical.
Any inaccuracy during printing can result in cloudy, opaque, or rough-surfaced parts that fail to convey the intended design. With Clean Pro Resin, exact geometries are faithfully reproduced through 405nm photopolymerization, delivering parts that are both functional and aesthetically refined.
“Integrating Clean Pro Resin into our rapid prototyping workflow has allowed us to directly obtain high-quality transparent functional prototypes from the printer. We have significantly reduced our reliance on external service providers. Thanks to Clean Pro’s cost-effectiveness and on-demand printing convenience, our prototyping efficiency has improved dramatically.”
