Explore our Stereolithography (SLA) archive to see how we transform liquid resin into highly detailed, smooth, and precise components. This section highlights our expertise in SLA additive manufacturing, a widely used 3D printing technology known for its ability to create intricate, high-resolution parts with excellent surface quality.

What is Stereolithography (SLA)?


Stereolithography (SLA) is one of the oldest and most precise 3D printing technologies that uses a UV laser to cure liquid resin layer by layer into a solid object. SLA printing is renowned for its exceptional accuracy, smooth surface finish, and ability to create fine details, making it ideal for functional prototypes, molds, and intricate designs.

How SLA Works

The SLA process begins with a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) model, which is sliced into thin layers. A liquid photopolymer resin is stored in a vat, and a UV laser selectively cures the resin according to the digital design. As each layer solidifies, the build platform moves upward, and the process repeats until the final component is fully formed.

Applications of Stereolithography (SLA)


SLA printing is widely used in industries requiring high-resolution, smooth-surface, and highly detailed parts, including:

  • Medical & Healthcare – Custom dental models, surgical tools, and prosthetics.

  • Jewelry & Fashion – Intricate and detailed jewelry prototypes and molds.

  • Engineering & Product Development – High-precision prototypes for testing and validation.

  • Automotive & Aerospace – Functional and aesthetic parts for design validation.


Advantages of SLA 3D Printing



  • High Resolution & Fine Details – Capable of producing smooth, intricate parts with minimal layer visibility.

  • Superior Surface Finish – Produces polished, aesthetically appealing components straight from the printer.

  • Wide Material Selection – Supports various resin types, including flexible, durable, and biocompatible resins.

  • Ideal for Prototyping & Molding – Great for casting, dental models, and engineering prototypes.
