The best solution for precise dimensions and smoot surface quality
What is SLA (Stereolithography)?
In SLA printing technology, the photopolymer resin is cured with a UV laser source. This technology requires support structures which are removed after printing.
It is a frequently preferred printing technology for parts which need high accuracy and smooth surface quality.
SLA parts can be finished a very high standard using a variety of post-processing methods such as sanding, painting and varnishing.
- Build Volume: 450 x 450 x 400 mm
- Layer Thickness: 0.1 mm
- Color: Transparent
Advantages of SLA 3D Printing
- Transparent Colorless Parts
- Superior Surface Quality
- High Detail Precision
- Complex Geometries
- Dimensional Consistency
