SLA printing operates by curing liquid resin layer by layer. It starts with a digital 3D model sliced into thin layers. The UV laser selectively cures each layer of resin, which then fuses together to create a solid object. The result is a highly detailed, intricate 3D print.

• Unparalleled precision

• Smooth surface finish

• Ideal for complex and intricate designs

• Suitable for prototyping high tolerance parts

Our most common use cases for SLA printing are:

• Engineering prototypes

• Medical models and prosthetics

• Jewelry and fashion accesories

• Collectibles and miniatures

• Custom design and art pieces

Our SLA machines have a resolution of 19 microns and boast an accuracy of +/-0.05 millimeters. Perfect if you’re looking for a snug fit.

Due to the setup and part cleanup required, SLA is in general more expensive than our FDM option. But, because SLA prints parts in parallel, it takes the same amount of time to print one part as it does 6. This means that it gets cheaper the more we can get on the build plate. Ideal if you’re after many minis!

If you’re still unsure about whether SLA printing is right for you, send us an email with the model file (if you have it) and as many details as you can and we’ll help find the right process and material for you.
