Stereolithography (SLA)

Selective curing of a photopolymer resin by an ultraviolet laser, built on a descending platform, in a vat. Stereolithography (SLA) creates a tangible, 3D prototype from CAD drawings by directing ultraviolet laser radiation onto a vat of polymer resin (liquid plastic). After being cured in an ultraviolet oven, each SLA model is then hand-finished to your specifications. This includes anything from a rough-edged model to a glossy, painted real-life replica, depending on your needs. The end product is an exact physical model, or SLA prototype of the 3D drawing - giving designers, engineers, manufacturers, sales managers, marketing directors and prospective customers the opportunity to handle an SLA model of the new product. In this way, design iterations can be made quickly and inexpensively, guaranteeing companies the best product possible in the shortest time possible.
