Notably one of the oldest forms, SLA 3D printing is still considered powerful and highly respected. Continuing to advance over the decades, along with the entire additive manufacturing industry, SLA 3D printing is widely used for creating intricate 3D models, master patterns for industrial molds, and detailed, functional parts.
Stereolithography (SLA) is an additive manufacturing process that belongs to the Vat Photopolymerization family. In SLA, an object is created by selectively curing a polymer resin layer-by-layer using an ultraviolet (UV) laser beam. The materials used in SLA are photosensitive thermoset polymers that come in a liquid form.
SLA is famous for being the first 3D Printing technology: its inventor patented the technology back in 1986. If parts of very high accuracy or smooth surface finish are needed, SLA is the most cost-effective 3D printing technology available. Best results are achieved when the designer takes advantage of the benefits and limitations of the manufacturing.
