Stereolithography (SLA) uses advanced 3D printing technology to produce high-resolution, detailed resin parts, making it ideal for applications that require fine features, smooth surfaces, and high accuracy.
Stereolithography (SLA) is a 3D printing process that uses a laser to cure and solidify layers of photopolymer resin, building parts layer by layer. The process starts with a digital 3D model, which is sliced into thin layers. A laser selectively cures the resin in a vat, following the shape of each layer in the model. After one layer is cured, the build platform lowers, and a new layer of liquid resin is spread across the surface. This process repeats until the entire part is complete. The result is a highly detailed and precise part with smooth surfaces, ideal for intricate designs and prototypes.
High Precision:
SLA excels at producing parts with intricate details and tight tolerances, making it ideal for applications requiring extreme accuracy.
Smooth Surface Finish:
SLA naturally creates parts with exceptionally smooth surfaces, reducing the need for extensive post-processing and ideal for cosmetic prototypes or parts needing minimal finishing.
Fine Channels and Features:
SLA is capable of producing very fine channels and delicate features, perfect for designs with complex internal geometries or small, detailed parts.
Cost-Effective for Large Quantities:
SLA becomes increasingly cost-effective when producing larger quantities of parts, especially for small to medium-sized components, due to its efficient use of materials and quick turnaround times.
