Dear Sadegh,
I really don't know many things about the process followed in photoelastic tests ,as i am not even an engineer :-) , but some of my professors have proposed that in order to measure the internal stresses you need to have models as transparent as possible. I am aware of the fact that there are photoelastic materials for coating, or casting which can be used in a secondary process, but i thought that it can be useful to have transparent models directly from Stereolithography. Maybe i am wrong because i am quite new at the subject, so please correct me if you think otherwise. Any help from your side will be appreciated.
Best Regards

Dear Giannis,
Could you tell me what is the benefit of having a transparent resin
like Somos 3100 Series? By the way I am doing a full range of tests
on epoxy 5170.
