Stereolithography (SLA)

• Description

  Stereolithography (SLA) is a 3D printing process that uses a laser to cure liquid resin into hardened plastic in a layer-by-layer fashion.

• Features

  High Precision and Detail: SLA produces parts with excellent resolution and intricate details, making it perfect for detailed prototypes and models.

  Smooth Surface Finish: Parts produced have a smooth surface finish, reducing the need for extensive post-processing.

  Wide Range of Resins: Availability of various resins that can simulate different materials, such as clear, flexible, or high-temperature resistant resins.

  Fast Prototyping: Quick turnaround times for producing high-quality prototypes, facilitating rapid product development cycles.

• Materials Used

  Photopolymer resins.

• Applications

  Highly detailed prototypes, dental models, jewelry molds, and functional parts.

• Advantages

  High resolution and precision, smooth surface finish, and ability to produce complex geometries.
