What is Stereolithography?

Stereolithography "SLA" 3D Printing

SLA is known for its accuracy and precision with being able to produce parts at a tolerance as low as .05 mm. With the use of a laser to cure resin one layer at a time this process can offer the smoothest surface finishes of any of the additive manufacturing processes. SLA presents the ability to print parts in short amounts of time making it perfect for protypes and time sensitive jobs.

What should you use SLA printing for?

With the great attention to detail and quick print times SLA 3d Printing is well suited for:

- Prototypes

- Parts with high detail

- Parts needing no build lines on key surfaces

- The need for parts in short lead time

- A feasible way to bridge the gap from prototype to full production

Materials

PRO-BLK 10

With PRO-BLK 10 you can go from idea to a printed part in one day with its fast print speed and simplified post-processing processes. This is a high precision resin that produces parts with a smooth finishes on all sides as well as excellent mechanical properties that make it great for long-term environmental stability.

Rigid White

Rigid White is a production-grade opaque white material that provides long-term environmental stability and long-lasting, clean white color. This material is great in medical, consumer goods, as well as other applications with its smooth surface finishes and biocompatible capability.

Tough 65C Black

Tough 65C Black is a production-grade black material with excellent tensile strength, elongation and impact strength. It provides great surface quality while maintaining the long-term environmental stability. With the resins 6.6% elongation at yield it makes the resin great for parts like buckles, clips, and snaps.

Tough 60C White

Tough 60C White is a biocompatible production grade white material with excellent elongation, impact strength, and tensile strength. The white color and good load bearing qualities make it great for high mechanical load bearing medical parts that can remain functional for several years. With its elongation at yield being 7.7% this resin is great for parts like brackets, clips, and snaps.

Figure 4 Standalone

Why Figure 4 Standalone?

The Figure 4 Standalone was created to provide people with a way to make precision 3D printed parts with injection molded like surfaces in same day speeds. The Figure 4 addresses a wide variety of applications needs, for functional prototyping, direct production of end-use parts, molding and casting. With the ability to change resins quickly you can fulfil multiple types of parts made in different resins all in a days work.
