MSLA (Masked Stereolithography) 3D Printing Technology Benefits:
- High Precision & Speed: MSLA offers excellent resolution and fine details, similar to traditional SLA, but with faster print speeds due to the use of a light source that masks the entire layer at once.
- Lower Cost: MSLA is typically more cost-effective compared to traditional SLA due to the use of LCD screens to cure resin, reducing the operational costs of the printer.
- Smooth Surface Finish: MSLA parts have smooth finishes with minimal post-processing required, making them ideal for visually appealing prototypes and models.
Ideal Applications:
- Prototyping: Perfect for high-detail, functional prototypes in industries such as jewelry, dental, and consumer products.
- Miniatures & Models: MSLA is ideal for creating miniatures, figurines, and small-scale models with intricate detail and fine features.
- Rapid Iteration: Due to its speed and cost-efficiency, MSLA is great for quick design iterations and producing multiple versions of a part.

FAQ
Popular Question
MSLA, or Masked Stereolithography Apparatus, is a 3D printing technology that uses UV light projected through an LCD mask to selectively cure liquid resin layer by layer. Unlike traditional SLA, which uses a laser to trace the design, MSLA cures an entire layer at once, leading to faster print times.
MSLA offers several unique advantages:
- High resolution and detail: MSLA produces very fine details and smooth surface finishes, making it ideal for intricate designs.
- Faster printing: By curing an entire layer at once, MSLA can print faster than traditional SLA systems, especially for larger parts.
- Cost-effective: MSLA printers tend to be more affordable than other resin-based systems, making them accessible for hobbyists and professionals alike.
- Excellent surface quality: The cured resin results in smooth finishes with little need for post-processing, depending on the part's requirements.
MSLA uses photosensitive liquid resins. Common resin types include:
- Standard resins: Ideal for detailed prototypes and visual models.
- Tough resins: Designed for stronger parts with higher impact resistance.
- Flexible resins: Great for parts that need flexibility and elasticity.
- Castable resins: Used for creating molds, typically in jewelry and dental applications.
- Biocompatible resins: Safe for medical and dental applications such as surgical guides or dental models.
The cost of MSLA printing depends on the part size, complexity, and material used. Typical price ranges are:
- Small parts (up to 5 cm): $50 - $150
- Medium parts (5 cm - 15 cm): $150 - $500
- Large parts (15 cm+): $500 and above
Production times with MSLA can vary based on the part’s complexity and size, but typical timelines are:
- Small parts: 2-4 business days
- Medium parts: 4-6 business days
- Large or complex parts: 6-10 business days
MSLA is highly versatile and used across several industries, including:
- Jewelry: For detailed jewelry casting models and molds.
- Dental and Medical: Surgical guides, dental models, and biocompatible applications.
- Miniatures and Figurines: Creating high-quality models with intricate details.
- Product Design and Prototyping: Visual prototypes and design validation models.
