Post-Printing Treatment

Post-printing treatment is recommended for models printed with several special-purpose materials or for special applications. Recommendations for treating and finishing models after printing are described in the Best Practices for the desired printing material available on the Stratasys Support Center.

Photobleaching for Transparent Models

Models printed with clear materials, such as VeroClear (RGD810) and VeroUltra Clear (RGD820) have a slight yellow tint when removed from the printer. This is especially true for models printed with a glossy finish. The yellow tint fades naturally over time, but you can greatly accelerate this process by using a suitable photobleaching treatment. This involves exposing models to intense light immediately after printing.

Photobleaching methods and instructions are described in the Best Practices for the relevant clear material. These are available on the Transparent materials page on the Stratasys Support Center.
Refer to the Best Practices for:
  • VeroClear RGD810
  • VeroUltra Clear RGD820
