Stereolithography (SLA)

Stereolithography (SLA) is a pioneering 3D printing technology that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to cure liquid resin into solid objects layer by layer. By selectively solidifying photopolymer resin in a vat, SLA enables the creation of highly detailed and intricate designs with smooth surface finishes, making it ideal for applications that require precision. Some printers that support SLA technology include the Formlabs Form 3, the Anycubic Photon, and the Peopoly Phenom X. SLA has a wide range of applications, including jewelry, dental models, and prototyping of small functional parts.
