Good day!
If you don’t need to reach a high transparency of your printed model, please check our Standard Resin. This is a translucent material with a yellowish color, which is constructed from liquid resin hardened by a laser (Stereolithography as well).
Feel free to check our Flickr “Standard Resin” album to get more insight of what output to expect.
Thanks.

this color will not work for me, black or white is required at least…
In this case you may try varnished Transparent Resin. Varnish reduces transparency of the resin.

thanks for assistance. on my model i get 60 eur for standrart resin, but 190 eur for transparent resin. is it normal? is there so much difference in material cost ?
Hi Edmunds,
it is not the material cost that makes the difference but the finishing cost. Transparent resin parts are getting by default a varnish to protect is from UV light discoloration. Before varnishing , the part is hand sandpapered, the ‘varnish’ paint is mixed with the requested color ( if requested), the part is painted in a professional paint booth.
That makes the difference , there is much more manual labour to transparent parts due to varnishing.
Hope this helps understanding.
thanks, i am just looking for a nice way to get translucensy without much postprocessing.but is will make a test model anyway
