What is SLA 3D Printing?
Stereolithography which was invented in the 1980s, was the world’s first 3D printing technology and is now one of the most popular technology among experts. In a process known as photopolymerization, SLA resin 3D printers use a laser to cure liquid resin into rigid plastic.
Benefits of SLA Technology
SLA parts offer the highest resolution and precision, the clearest details, and the nicest surface finish of any plastic 3D printing technology, but its versatility is its main advantage. SLA photopolymer resin compositions with a wide range of optical, mechanical, and thermal qualities to match those of standard, technical, and industrial thermoplastics have been developed by material manufacturers.
Sharp edges, a clean surface finish, and few apparent layer lines characterize SLA parts. Molds, patterns, and functional parts are all examples of highly complex prototypes that require tight tolerances and smooth surfaces, SLA is a wonderful solution for these types of prototypes. SLA is utilized in a variety of industries, including engineering and product design, as well as manufacturing, dentistry, jewelry, model building, and education.
