Even if the method is just at its beginning it is also possible to 3D print photoelastic samples. [Stratasys](https://www.stratasys.com/) proposes for example to print [VeroClear](https://www.stratasys.com/materials/search/veroclear) a transparent polymer that has a quite good photoelastic response (read [this article](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319528019_The_mechanical_and_photoelastic_properties_of_3D_printable_stress-visualized_materials_OPEN) for more details). Just like polyurethane molding, this method is very versatile in terms of shape. However if not properly used it let massive residual stresses and do not have a very large range of material properties. More details are available in [this section](https://git-xen.lmgc.univ-montp2.fr/PhotoElasticity/Main/wikis/3D-printing)
