What It Entails

Detail you can see, finish you can feel

SLA captures features as fine as 0.2 mm — crisp text, sharp edges and smooth curves straight off the machine. Every part is washed, post-cured and hand-finished before inspection.

  • Standard, tough, flexible and castable resins in clear, grey, black and white.
  • Support strategy planned by a technician to protect visible faces.
  • Optional priming and painting preparation for display-grade pieces.

FAQ

Resin questions, answered

25-micron layers produce a near-moulded finish. Light sanding on support points leaves parts ready for paint or display.

Tough resins handle snap-fits and light mechanical loads well. For heavy-duty parts we usually recommend SLS nylon or FDM — ask us and we'll advise honestly.

Our large-format SLA machines build up to 300 mm tall. Bigger models are split, printed and bonded invisibly.
