The SLA process uses a photopolymer resin in a vat, selectively cured layer by layer by a UV laser according to the 3D model’s specifications. The build platform moves down incrementally, forming the object. After printing, parts typically require post-curing and support removal.
SLA primarily uses polymer powders, each providingdifferent mechanical properties:
Standard Resins: Offers a balance of strength, detail, and surface finish, ideal for general-purpose use.
Tough Resins: Impact-resistant and durable, perfect for functional prototypes and stress-resistant parts
Flexible Resins: Capable of bending and compressing, used for parts requiring flexibility
Castable Resins: Designed for investment casting, often used in jewelry and dental applications.
SLA technology is well-suited for scenarios where high detail and surface finish are crucial:
Prototyping: Create highly detailed prototypes to evaluate design and aesthetics.
Dental and Medical Models: Produce accurate dental models and medical devices.
Jewelry: Design and produce intricate jewelry pieces and molds for casting
Engineering Components: Manufacture parts that require high precision and fine detail.
High Precious: Capable of producing extremely fine details and smooth surfaces.
Versatile Material Options: A wide range of resins for different mechanical properties and applications.
Excellent Surface Finish Minimal post-processing required for a polished appearance.
Support Structure Parts often require supports during printing, which need to be removed post-process.
Material Handling: Resins can be sensitive to light and temperature, requiring careful handling and storage.
Post-Processing: Additional curing may be necessary to achieve final material properties
3D Printing SLA delivers high-resolution, detailed parts with excellent surface finishes, ideal for precision applications. It’s the top choice for designers, engineers, and medical professionals needing top-notch quality in prototypes and end-use parts.
Stereolithography (SLA) uses a laser to cure liquid resin into hardened plastic. It is known for its high precision and smooth surface finish.
Typical materials include standard resin, tough resin, flexible resin, and castable resin.
The printing time depends on the object’s size and complexity. Small parts can take a few hours, while larger, more complex parts can take several hours to a full day.
SLA is ideal for creating detailed prototypes, jewelry, dental models, and high-precision engineering parts.
