Stereolithography - UV-cured resin technology for exceptional detail, smooth surfaces, and intricate geometries. Perfect for miniatures, jewelry, and detailed prototypes.
Stereolithography (SLA) uses a UV laser to cure liquid photopolymer resin layer by layer. This produces parts with exceptional surface quality and fine detail resolution, making it ideal for applications where aesthetics and precision matter.
Choose from our range of high-performance photopolymer resins.
General-purpose resin with excellent detail and smooth finish.
ABS-like properties with high impact resistance.
Shore 50A-80A hardness for flexible applications.
Water-clear optical quality for transparent parts.
Burns out cleanly for investment casting.
Optimise your designs for successful SLA printing.
Minimum: 0.5mm
Recommended: 1mm+
Thin walls may be fragile. For unsupported walls, use 1mm minimum.
Min Diameter: 0.5mm
Drain Holes: 3.5mm recommended
Hollow parts need drain holes to allow uncured resin to escape.
Min Feature: 0.2mm
Text Height: 0.5mm minimum
SLA excels at fine details. Embossed/engraved text as small as 0.5mm is achievable.
Max Unsupported: 19°
Supports: Usually required
Most designs require supports. We orient parts optimally to minimise support marks.
Assemblies: 0.3mm minimum
Moving parts: 0.5mm
Allow adequate clearance for fitted parts. Test critical fits with a prototype.
Wall Thickness: 2-3mm
Drain Holes: Required
Large solid parts should be hollowed to save material and reduce print time.
