Explore how SLA technology can help you achieve high-precision, detailed prototypes and functional parts.
SLA (Stereolithography) 3D Printing Technology Benefits:
- High Precision & Detail: SLA provides exceptional resolution and fine detail, making it ideal for projects that require intricate designs and smooth surfaces.
- Smooth Finish: Parts produced with SLA have a smooth surface finish, reducing the need for post-processing and improving the overall aesthetic of the product.
- Fast Turnaround: SLA is an efficient method for rapid prototyping, allowing for quick iteration and testing of designs before moving to production.
Ideal Applications:
- Prototyping: Perfect for creating highly detailed models and prototypes, especially in industries like healthcare, jewelry, and consumer products.
- Concept Models: Ideal for visualizing and testing concepts with fine features that might not be achievable using traditional manufacturing methods.
- Small-Batch Production: Well-suited for low-volume production of parts that require precise details and tight tolerances.
Standard Resin
Offers high detail and excellent surface finish for general prototyping.
High-Temperature Resin
Suitable for parts exposed to heat or requiring increased heat resistance.
Flexible Resin
Provides parts with rubber-like flexibility for applications such as seals, gaskets, or consumer goods.
Tough Resin
Stronger than standard resin, used for functional prototypes and mechanical parts.

Popular Question
SLA is a 3D printing technology that uses a UV laser to cure liquid resin layer by layer to create high-precision parts with smooth surface finishes. It is one of the earliest forms of 3D printing and is known for producing detailed and complex parts with excellent accuracy.
SLA offers several key advantages:
- High precision and accuracy: SLA produces extremely detailed parts with tight tolerances, making it ideal for intricate designs.
- Smooth surface finishes: Parts printed using SLA have a fine surface finish, often requiring little to no post-processing.
- Material versatility: SLA resins offer a wide range of properties, from tough and durable to flexible and heat resistant.
- Ideal for prototypes: Because of its accuracy and smooth finish, SLA is a preferred technology for creating prototypes and design validation models.
SLA uses a variety of photopolymer resins, each with specific properties suited to different applications:
- Standard resins: These provide high detail and smooth finishes, suitable for visual models and prototypes.
- Tough resins: Designed for mechanical parts that need impact resistance and durability.
- Flexible resins: These offer elasticity, making them suitable for parts that require flexibility and bending.
- High-temperature resins: Used for parts that need to withstand high heat, often in engineering or industrial applications.
- Biocompatible resins: Suitable for medical and dental applications, such as surgical guides and dental models.
The cost of SLA printing depends on the size, complexity, and type of resin used. Here are typical price ranges:
- Small parts (up to 5 cm): $50 - $200
- Medium parts (5 cm - 15 cm): $200 - $500
- Large parts (15 cm+): $500 and above
SLA production times vary based on part size and complexity. Here are general timelines:
- Small parts: 2-4 business days
- Medium parts: 4-6 business days
- Large or complex parts: 6-10 business days
SLA is widely used in several industries due to its precision and material options:
- Medical and Dental: Biocompatible resins for dental models, surgical guides, and medical devices.
- Jewelry: Creating high-resolution, detailed casting patterns.
- Engineering and Industrial Design: For prototypes that require dimensional accuracy and smooth surface finishes.
- Consumer Goods: Visual prototypes, product designs, and components for electronics.
- Entertainment and Miniatures: For highly detailed figurines, models, and props.
