SLA/SLS

Stereolithography (SLA)

Produces components using a precise UV laser to cure and solidify thin layers of a photo-reactive resin. One of the most accurate 3D printing technologies, SLA is ideal for concept models, rapid prototypes, master patterns, form and fit studies, and investment casting patterns. SLA parts can be clear, and can be finished in multiple ways to meet your needs, including painting, plating, and the installation of threaded inserts or other components. In addition, we can section and bond multiple pieces of a larger part design quickly and seamlessly to create oversized models.

Advantages of SLA Manufacturing

• Capable of high-resolution printing, with dimensional accuracy within thousands of an inch

• A variety of materials available 

• Capable of producing highly accurate large geometries

Materials

• Clear, opaque, and transparent materials available

• High-temperature resistant

• Resins can mimic the properties of ABS, polycarbonate, and polypropylene
