Stereolithography 3D printing is renowned for industry-leading part accuracy, detail and sidewall quality.
Stereolithography is an additive manufacturing process that uses a vat of liquid UV-curable photopolymer resin and a UV laser to build parts one layer at a time. By using UV light to cure photosensitive polymers, produce parts built up from the vat of resin.
The platform will move down to the layer thickness chosen and the process repeated until parts are built, ready for washing, removal of supports and curing of parts.
From high-performance industries such as F1 and service bureaus requiring reliable part production and throughput, to consumer product industries requiring specific materials for functional or concept prototyping.
Stereolithography is most commonly used as a prototyping technology within industries that need to print parts or models to validate fit form and function or for concept visualization. Stereolithography is also used in manufacturing applications for short-run part production such as vacuum castings, injection mold tooling, investment casting master patterns and functional end use part production for certain environments.
With new and innovative materials now available, SLA 3D printing has evolved to cater to a much wider range of applications than ever before.
Designed by engineers, for engineers.
The reliable and proven Neo series of 3D printers build high-quality parts with superior surface quality, accuracy and detail.
SLA materials have evolved from general purpose prototyping materials through to now more weatherable or high temp materials, broadening the application use with a goal of end-use part production.
