What is
Stereolithography (SLA)

Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing is a method of additive manufacturing that uses a laser beam to solidify a liquid resin, layer by layer, to create three-dimensional objects. It allows for the production of parts with high resolution, precision, and smooth surface finish, making it ideal for prototypes and intricate designs.

The process begins with a digital model, which is sliced into thin layers by the 3D printing software. The SLA printer then projects a UV laser onto a vat of photosensitive resin, tracing a pattern that corresponds to the first layer of the design. The emitted light causes the liquid resin to solidify, forming a thin solid layer. The build platform then moves slightly to make room for the next layer, and the process continues until the entire object is printed.

How SLA 3D printing benefits for your industry

SLA 3D printing offers considerable value in the industrial sector through its ability to produce highly detailed and complex parts without added tooling costs. Its high resolution and precision make it ideal for creating intricate designs and features that typical manufacturing methods cannot achieve, for example, in the case of intricate prototypes and part molds.

Moreover, SLA printing`'s versatility reduces the time taken from conceptual design to physical part, dramatically accelerating product development cycles. Its ability to use a variety of resin types broadens its applicability in different industrial settings, allowing for customization based on mechanical requirements or desired properties, like flame retardance or high temperature resistance.

Commonly used materials for SLA 3D printing

Standard Resin

Widely used due to its affordability and versatility. Provides good detail with medium mechanical properties, but is relatively brittle; not suitable for load-bearing parts.

Tough Resin

Chambered for its enhanced durability and resistance to wear. Best suited for functional prototypes or components for testing mechanical properties where stress and strain will be applied.

Clear Resin

Enables the creation of transparent or semi-transparent prints, ideal for demonstrating internal features, fluidic devices, or light path visualizations. Can be polished for maximum transparency.

Dental Resins

Specialized material designed specifically for dental applications. Produces biocompatible parts that can be used in oral environments, such as dental splints or orthodontic models.

Ceramic Resin

Yields parts with similar characteristics to ceramic materials such as hardness and color after sintering. Used for art installations, architectural models, or specialized components.

High Temp Resin

Possesses high thermal stability, used mainly for mold-making, heat-resistant fixtures, and hot air/wind tunnel parts.
