Clear Plastic
VisiJet M2R-CL
Rigid general-purpose plastic with translucent clear finish delivering a balance of strength and elongation with a moderate HDT.
ProJet MJP 2500
Similar to the VisiJet M2R-WT (white) and VisiJet M2R-GRY (gray), Visijet M2R-CL is a rigid material that is good for a broad range of concept models and functional prototypes. It is optically clear and has high feature fidelity, sharp corners and edges and smooth surface finish. It is a general-purpose material with high accuracy suitable for prototypes, printed assemblies, medical/dental applications and some end-use parts. Able to make extremely small and complex internal structures for microfluidics and flow visualization.
Note: Not all products and materials are available in all countries — please consult your local sales representative for availability.

ISOTROPIC PROPERTIES
MultiJet Printing (MJP) technology prints parts that are generally isotropic in mechanical properties meaning the parts printed along either the XYZ axis will give similar results.
Parts do not need to be oriented to get the highest mechanical properties, further improving the degree of freedom for part orientation for mechanical properties.

INDOOR STABILITY
OUTDOOR STABILITY
LONG TERM ENVIRONMENTAL STABILITY
VisiJet M2R-CL is engineered to give long-term environmental UV and humidity stability. This means the material is tested for the ability to retain a high percent of the initial mechanical properties over a given period of time. This provides real design conditions to consider for the application or part. Actual data value is on Y-axis, and data points are % of initial value.
INDOOR STABILITY: Tested per ASTM D4329 standard method.
OUTDOOR STABILITY: Tested per ASTM G154 standard method.
AUTOMOTIVE FLUID COMPATIBILITY
The compatibility of a material with hydrocarbons and cleaning chemicals is critical to part application. VisiJet M2R-CL parts were tested for sealed and surface contact compatibility per USCAR2 test conditions. The fluids below were tested in two different ways per the specs.
Immerse for 7-days, then take mechanical property data for comparison.
Immerse for 30-minutes, remove and take mechanical property data for comparison in 7-days.
Data reflects the measured value of properties over that period of time.
