SLA is the abbreviation of "Stereo Lithography Apparatus", which is the English abbreviation of stereolithography. It is a 3D printing device that uses light-curing technology for rapid manufacturing. It uses liquid photosensitive resin as raw material, and solidifies layer by layer through laser or other light sources, gradually stacking to form a solid model. SLA light-curing printers have been widely used in industrial design, medical equipment, automobile manufacturing and other fields with the characteristics of high precision, high speed and high surface quality.
Stereolithography is the earliest rapid prototyping process, with high maturity and has been tested by time.
The prototype is made directly from the CAD digital model, with fast processing speed and short product production cycle, without cutting tools and molds.
The system has high resolution and can produce prototypes and molds with complex structures or difficult to form using traditional methods.
Make CAD digital models intuitive and reduce the cost of error repair.
After the design problem is found, the design change can be realized very quickly, the sample can be provided for the experiment, and the results of the computer simulation calculation can be verified and checked.
A variety of resin materials can be used for printing, including thermoplastic polymers, rubber and metal, which makes this technology applicable to many fields.
