Frequently Asked Question(FAQ)

What is SLA 3D printing technology?: Stereolithography (SLA) is an additive manufacturing process that uses a UV laser to cure liquid photopolymer resin layer by layer, building highly detailed and accurate 3D parts. SLA is renowned for producing parts with smooth surface finishes and fine details, making it ideal for prototypes, models, and complex designs.

What industries benefit most from SLA?: SLA technology is highly valued in industries such as medical and dental for precise models, jewelry for intricate designs, engineering for detailed prototypes, and consumer products for high-quality visual models. Its ability to produce parts with exceptional detail and surface finish makes it ideal for any application requiring high aesthetic quality.

Can SLA create complex shapes?: Yes, SLA can produce complex shapes and intricate geometries with high precision. However, support structures are required for overhangs and certain geometries, which are removed during post-processing to achieve the final design.

Is SLA environmentally friendly?: SLA involves the use of photopolymer resins, which are not biodegradable and require careful handling and disposal. However, advancements are being made in developing more environmentally friendly resins. Additionally, the additive nature of SLA minimizes material waste compared to subtractive manufacturing processes.

What is the cost-effectiveness of SLA compared to other methods?: SLA offers high-quality prints with fine details and smooth finishes, which can reduce or eliminate the need for post-processing, saving time and costs. While the material cost may be higher than FDM, the superior surface quality and detail can make SLA more cost-effective for certain applications.

What is the maximum build size for SLA?: Our advanced SLA machines can print parts up to 300 x 300 x 200 mm, allowing for the creation of moderately sized prototypes and components with high detail.

What is the layer thickness range in SLA printing?: We offer a layer thickness range from 25 to 100 microns (0.025 to 0.1 mm). Thinner layers (25 microns) provide higher resolution and smoother surfaces, suitable for detailed parts, while thicker layers (100 microns) allow for faster print times.

What dimensional accuracy can SLA achieve?: SLA typically offers a dimensional accuracy of ±0.1 mm or ±0.1%, whichever is greater. This high level of precision is suitable for applications requiring tight tolerances and detailed features.

What materials are available for SLA?: We offer a variety of photopolymer resins, including standard resins, transparent resins, flexible resins, castable resins for jewelry, and high-temperature resins for engineering applications.

What is the typical lead time for an SLA print?: Our standard lead time is 3 business days, but it can vary depending on the complexity and size of your project. We also offer expedited services to meet tighter deadlines when necessary.

What is the recommended minimum wall thickness for SLA?: For optimal stability and durability, we recommend a minimum wall thickness of 0.4 mm for small features and 0.6 mm for larger features. Thinner walls may be fragile and prone to damage.

Can SLA print fine details?: Yes, SLA is renowned for its ability to print fine details as small as 0.1 mm, making it ideal for intricate designs and detailed models.

What support structures are used in SLA?: SLA uses support structures made of the same material to support overhanging sections and complex geometries during the printing process. These supports are removed during post-processing to reveal the final design.

How should I design for supports and overhangs?: To minimize the need for supports, design overhangs with angles greater than 19 degrees from the horizontal plane. However, due to the nature of SLA, some supports may still be necessary for complex geometries.

Are there any special considerations for hollow parts?: Yes, for hollow parts, it's important to include drainage holes of at least 3 mm diameter to allow uncured resin to escape during the printing process.

What is the strength of SLA printed parts?: SLA parts can be strong but are generally more brittle compared to FDM parts. They are suitable for prototypes and models where high detail is required but may not be ideal for functional parts subjected to mechanical stress.

How heat-resistant are SLA parts?: Standard SLA resins have a heat deflection temperature around 50°C (122°F). High-temperature resins can withstand temperatures up to 238°C (460°F), suitable for applications requiring thermal resistance.

Are SLA parts UV stable?: Standard SLA resins can degrade or discolor over time when exposed to UV light. For applications requiring UV stability, special resins or coatings may be necessary.

Can SLA parts be painted or finished?: Yes, SLA parts have a smooth surface finish that is ideal for painting, plating, or other finishing processes. They can be easily sanded and polished to achieve the desired appearance.

Are there flexible material options in SLA?: Yes, flexible resins are available for SLA, allowing the production of parts with elastomeric properties suitable for applications like gaskets, seals, and wearable items.

Can SLA print dental or medical models?: Absolutely. SLA is widely used in the dental and medical fields for producing highly accurate models, surgical guides, and custom prosthetics due to its high precision and fine detail capabilities.

Is SLA suitable for jewelry prototyping?: Yes, SLA is ideal for jewelry design and prototyping, especially with castable resins that allow for direct investment casting of printed models.

Can SLA produce transparent or translucent parts?: Yes, we offer transparent and translucent resins that are perfect for applications like lenses, light guides, and fluid flow visualization models.

How does SLA support engineering applications?: SLA can produce highly detailed prototypes for form and fit testing, as well as concept models to communicate design intent. High-temperature resins enable functional testing under thermal stress.

Is SLA suitable for figurines and models?: Yes, the high level of detail and smooth surface finish make SLA perfect for creating figurines, scale models, and display pieces with intricate features.
