SLA 3D printing

sla-3d-printing

Stereolithography (SLA) is an additive manufacturing process that belongs to the VAT photopolymerization family. In SLA, an object is created by selectively curing a polymer resin layer-by-layer using an ultraviolet (UV) laser beam. The materials used in SLA are photosensitive polymers that come in a liquid form.

Why Choose SLA for Your 3D Printing Project?

SLA is a great option for rapid prototyping and project ideas that require the production of extremely precise and minutely detailed parts. It’s ideal for producing show-and-tell parts to enable validation of concept ideas and ergonomic testing.

High-resolution parts

Small intricate details can be produced using the 3D printing technique.

Aesthetics & Ergonomics

A smooth surface finish is achieved, and the part can be post-processed by painting to look aesthetically appealing.

Large Build Volume

Large parts can be printed quickly and in a single build. SLA machines have the largest build volumes among the others, which also be used as Master Patterns.
