Stereolithography (SLA) 3D Printing is the most common resin 3D printing process and has become vastly popular for its ability to produce high-accuracy, isotropic, and watertight prototypes and end-use parts. SLA 3D printers produce parts with a range of advanced material properties, superior surface finishes, and fine features. 

​

Stereolithography, also known as vat photopolymerization or resin 3D printing, is an additive manufacturing process where a light source cures liquid resin into hardened plastic. 

SLA 3D printing offers the fastest speed, highest resolution and accuracy, sharpest details, and smoothest surface finishes of all 3D printing technologies. Another key benefit of resin 3D printing is the versatile range of materials available. Material manufacturers have created innovative SLA resin formulations with a wide range of optical, mechanical, and thermal properties to match those of standard, engineering, and industrial thermoplastics.

​

Advances in 3D printing hardware, software, and materials science have made SLA technology more affordable and accessible, enabling businesses to change the way they approach prototyping, testing, and production.

​

SLA 3D printed parts are being deployed in every industry as end-use products, industrial replacement parts, manufacturing aids, tooling, and more. Their smooth surface finish and tight tolerances make them ideal for use in multi-part assemblies, consumer grade products, or final design review parts. 

​

At Rightly Divide CNC we utilize Formlabs SLA printers. Formlabs is well known in the industry for its ability to provide consistent results and a diverse range of engineering grade materials.
