Stereolithography (SLA) is an advanced additive manufacturing technology that uses a UV laser to cure liquid resin into a solid structure layer by layer. It is known for producing high-resolution, smooth-surface parts, making it ideal for prototyping, medical models, and intricate functional components. SLA is widely used in industries such as automotive, healthcare, jewelry, and consumer goods.
A resin that mimics the properties of polypropylene, offering excellent impact resistance, flexibility, and fatigue resistance. This material is ideal for producing snap-fit parts, enclosures, and lightweight functional prototypes.
A high-strength resin designed to replicate the mechanical properties of traditional ABS plastic. It provides good impact resistance, durability, and dimensional stability, making it an excellent choice for functional prototypes, casings, and engineering components. Its toughness allows for post-processing such as sanding, drilling, and painting, making it ideal for end-use applications requiring structural integrity.
A high-clarity resin engineered for applications that require transparency, such as optical prototypes, fluid flow analysis models, and aesthetic parts. The material features excellent surface quality and can be post-processed to enhance transparency, reducing the natural haze typical of SLA-printed parts. It is frequently used in lighting components, lenses, and medical models.
A flexible resin that replicates the elasticity and softness of thermoplastic polyurethane. It provides high elongation at break, excellent tear resistance, and good durability, making it suitable for gaskets, seals, flexible hinges, and ergonomic components. Its ability to withstand repeated compression and stretching makes it an excellent choice for parts requiring resilience and flexibility over time.
A thermally resistant resin designed to maintain structural integrity at elevated temperatures. With excellent heat deflection properties, this material is ideal for tooling, molds, and industrial applications requiring resistance to thermal deformation. It is often used in functional prototypes for automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries where exposure to high heat is a concern.
A soft, flexible resin that replicates the properties of rubber, offering superior elasticity, shock absorption, and excellent surface grip. This material is ideal for applications such as overmolded components, vibration-damping parts, gaskets, and wearable prototypes. It allows for high-precision detailing while maintaining flexibility and resilience under mechanical stress.
A high-rigidity resin with ceramic-like hardness, thermal resistance, and a smooth surface finish. This material provides excellent wear resistance, low thermal expansion, and dimensional stability under high temperatures. It is commonly used in tooling, medical applications, and specialized industrial components where heat resistance and hardness are critical.
An electrostatic discharge-resistant material designed for applications requiring static protection. It prevents the buildup of electrostatic charges, making it ideal for electronic housings, circuit board fixtures, and components used in sensitive environments. This material maintains good mechanical strength while ensuring safe handling of electronic devices in manufacturing and testing setups.

SLA parts typically have high detail accuracy and smooth surfaces but are generally more brittle than SLS or FDM parts. They are best suited for visual models, prototyping, and low-load functional applications.
SLA parts achieve high precision, with typical tolerances of ±0.2% (minimum ±0.2 mm). However, part size, geometry, and resin type may influence accuracy.
SLA offers significant design freedom, but there are still some constraints to consider:
- Minimum Wall Thickness: 0.5 mm recommended for structural integrity, but it is possible to print details around 0.1-0.2 mm thanks to the high resolution.
- Supports: Required for overhangs and complex geometries to print the parts which needs to be removed after printing.
- Post-Processing: SLA parts require cleaning and curing with UV light for optimal strength.
SLA offers superior finish and detail, but lower mechanical strength. Ideal for realistic prototypes and visual models.
