Stereolithography (SLA)

Stereolithography (SLA) is a 3D printing technology that creates objects by curing liquid resin with a laser.

The process involves a vat filled with photosensitive resin and a build platform that moves up and down. A laser, guided by mirrors, traces the cross-sectional pattern of the object onto the surface of the resin, causing it to solidify layer by layer. After each layer is cured, the build platform lowers slightly, and a new layer of resin is spread over the previous one. This process continues until the object is fully formed. SLA is renowned for its high precision and smooth surface finish, making it ideal for creating detailed prototypes, intricate models, and components in industries like aerospace, automotive, and healthcare.

Our Materials

Accura 60 Clear

This translucent, rigid acrylate-based plastic is ideal for producing small to large parts with high resolution and detail, thanks to a large format SLA printer. The smooth surfaces and minimal layer lines make it suitable for complex functional assemblies requiring transparency.

Optical clarity can be achieved with additional post-processing, though this is not included in standard orders. For optically clear products, please contact our Sales team.

Accura Xtreme Grey

A grey, rigid acrylate-based plastic, Accura Xtreme is printed with a large format SLA printer, capable of creating parts with high resolution, detail, and smooth surfaces with limited layer lines. It is perfect for demanding functional assemblies that need a smooth, injection molded-like surface finish.

Accura Xtreme White 200

This ultra-tough white acrylate-based plastic offers excellent strength, durability, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy. It is ideal for applications that require robust and precise parts.
