Stereolithography (SLA)

Smooth surfaces and fine detail for appearance prototypes and complex models.

SLA cures liquid photopolymer resin layer by layer with a laser.

It produces complex geometry, smooth surfaces and clear details quickly. Parts normally require support removal and post-processing.

01

How It Works

A UV laser traces each sliced layer across liquid photopolymer resin, selectively curing the material into a complete part.

Benefits and Limitations

SLA produces fine details, thin walls and smooth surfaces for visual validation and precision assemblies. Support removal, weather resistance and finishing requirements should also be considered.

  • High detail resolution and consistent surface quality
  • Supports clear, heat-resistant and engineering-like finishes
