- 2 min read
Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing represents the pinnacle of precision in additive manufacturing, offering exceptional detail resolution and surface finish quality that makes it ideal for professional engineering applications.
What is SLA 3D Printing?
SLA 3D printing uses a laser to cure liquid photopolymer resin layer by layer, creating highly detailed parts with smooth surface finishes. This process achieves layer heights as fine as 0.01mm, making it perfect for applications requiring intricate geometries and precise tolerances.
Key Advantages of SLA Technology
Exceptional Surface Quality: Minimal post-processing required
High Resolution: Details down to 0.025mm feature size
Dimensional Accuracy: ±0.1mm tolerance achievable
Material Variety: Engineering-grade resins available
