STEREOLITHOGRAPHY

   ​Accelerate your time-to-market with innovative SLA solutions.

 

 

   

 

 


Stereolithography (SLA) 
 

Stereolithography (SLA) is an additive manufacturing process that builds models one layer at a time. With a UV light trailing the resin as it is printed, prototypes are cured (hardened) immediately after printing. CAD models provide data to the system, which traces each horizontal layer across the surface. After each horizontal layer is laid, the print tray lowers in the z-axis (height). The final step in the SLA process involves a final curation in a UV oven.

Proto3000's SLA rapid prototyping services is a cost effective way to accelerate your product
development and decrease your time-to market. Outsourcing for services can save precious time if you are on a tight deadline. Employing Proto3000 as your SLA service partner when your system is down, while CAD designers and product engineers could focus on the details necessary to produce high quality results.

SLA Process 

Stereolithography (SLA) is an additive fabrication process utilizing a vat of liquid UV-curable photopolymer "resin" and a UV laser to build parts a layer at a time. On each layer, the laser beam traces a part cross-section pattern on the surface of the liquid resin.
