SLA 3D Printing Capacities
Stereolithography (SLA) is a powerful 3D printing technology that produces extremely accurate and high resolution parts that are capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping. It offers higher resolution printing than many other 3D printing technologies, allowing customers to print parts with fine details and surface finishes.
Try Xometry Out Now In Just A Few Steps
Multiple designs for different parts can be imported at the same time to produce a single quote. In less than a minute, a detailed cost estimation appears on the screen.
First, select the manufacturing process you require. You can then choose from a wide range of plastics, finishes and certifications.
Once you have selected the required options, all you need to do is confirm the order and pay for it on the secure payment platform. Your design will be analysed by engineers.
Within a short amount of time, you will receive the parts you ordered directly to your shipping address. You can track your package at any time in your personal account.
Advantages of SLA with Xometry
Massive Capacity
We can quickly produce both prototypes and large batches thanks to the largest manufacturing network in Turkey and Europe, with over 2,000 vetted partners.
Fast Production
You will get your 3D printed parts delivered in as fast as 7 days.
Quality Assurance
We have strong QA procedures, controlled by an in-house team of QA engineers, which allows us to deliver high quality parts.
Engineering Check & Status Updates
All designs are checked by engineers before they’re sent for 3D printing. After confirming your order, you will receive status updates on your production.
SLA 3D Printing Materials
Pros & Cons of SLA 3D Printing
Advantages | Considerations |
---|---|
Smooth surface finish | Only resin / polymer materials |
Can print clear/ transparent parts | Limited resistance to UV light if you use resin as the printing material |
High precision | More expensive setup => more expensive smaller series |
Fast: Xometry can deliver them in just 5 days | Requires support elements |
