Stereolithography (SLA)
Description
Stereolithography (SLA), also known as vat photopolymerization or resin 3D printing, is an advanced additive manufacturing process that uses a light source to cure liquid resin into solid plastic. SLA stands out for its exceptional speed, highest resolution, and accuracy, delivering the sharpest details and smoothest surface finishes among 3D printing technologies. Its unparalleled precision makes SLA particularly well-suited for medical and dental applications, as well as a wide range of general additive manufacturing needs.
