About Stereolithography
Stereolithography (SLA) is a 3D printing technology that utilizes photopolymerization to create solid objects. The process involves using a liquid resin that is sensitive to ultraviolet light. When exposed to a UV laser, the liquid resin polymerizes into a solid material. Subsequently, the laser cures the part layer by layer to create the desired shape.
Following the initial formation, the object undergoes additional UV and thermal treatments to improve its strength and durability. Consequently, the resulting parts are highly accurate and possess a smooth surface finish.
Stereolithography is a fast and precise process commonly employed to produce prototypes, master patterns, and large concept models. Its high speed and design flexibility allow rapid iteration during new product development. Additionally, stereolithography printers can create complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing techniques.
