Transparent 3D printing has long been a technically tricky proposition. Clarity degrades, parts yellow over time, and results remain inconsistent outside controlled conditions. At RAPID + TCT 2026, taking place this week in Boston, HeyGears is making a case that these limitations are now largely solvable.

The company is presenting a one-stop production solution for transparent parts at Booth 1515. It is built around a fully integrated workflow spanning design, pre-processing, printing, and post-processing. Rather than optimizing individual steps in isolation, HeyGears is positioning the value of the system in the coordination between hardware, materials, and finishing — a closed-loop approach aimed at delivering repeatable, commercial-grade results.

On the hardware side, the Reflex 2, Reflex 2 Pro, and the new larger-format Reflex Max are shown alongside Wash Max and Cure Max, forming a complete production chain. The material offer reflects a similar logic.

The PAT10 High-Transparent resin achieves up to 88.5% light transmittance with acrylic-like clarity, aging resistance, and skin-friendly properties. It targets consumer electronics components and decorative applications.

The PAF10 Clear resin combines 82% transparency with flexible durability, suited for model making and industrial prototyping. Post-processing is handled by UltraGlaze ClearG115 Gloss Glaze, which enhances transparency while providing UV aging resistance and strong adhesion.

HeyGears aims to demonstrate how transparent 3D printing has moved beyond prototyping and toward commercially viable end-use production.
