Anycubic Tough Resin Ultra Clear — Crystal-Clear, Flexible and Resilient Photopolymer Resin
Anycubic Tough Resin Ultra Clear is a high-performance transparent resin designed for functional 3D printing applications where strength, flexibility, and visibility are essential. It combines exceptional rebound, low shrinkage, and optical clarity to enable printing of highly durable and clear wearable or technical components such as goggles, seals, or aesthetic covers. Can also be blended with other resins to enhance durability and impact resistance.
Key Advantages
- Transparent Finish: High optical clarity, perfect for translucent or clear prints.
- Superior Flexibility: Up to 80% elongation at break with fast recovery.
- Impact Resistance: Absorbs stress without cracking or shattering.
- Comfortable for Wearables: Skin-friendly and non-irritating after curing.
- Multi-Purpose: Use standalone or mix with rigid resins to boost flexibility.

Instructions for Use
- Before use: Shake thoroughly. Clean the resin vat and platform.
- During use: Pour resin into tank and adjust settings per printer’s guidelines.
- After printing: Remove the model carefully. Rinse with ≥95% IPA or ethanol. Use ultrasonic cleaning for best clarity.
- Post-curing: Remove supports, dry, and cure with UV light for 30–60 minutes.
Precautions
- Store resin in a cool, dark place (18–35°C). Avoid direct sunlight.
- Preheat if thickened by cold (max 60°C).
- Stir well if pigment has settled.
- Do not soak prints in alcohol for extended periods.
- Always cure after washing to ensure full strength and clarity.
- Print in dark environment or use lid to avoid unwanted exposure.
