Stereolithography (SLA)
Stereolithography (SLA) is an additive manufacturing process, where parts are created using an ultraviolet laser to cure a vat of liquid photopolymer resin. The resin is cured layer-by-layer by the laser as per the 3D CAD model.
At ProtoZone, we use the latest SLA technology that have the following bed sizes:
- 650x750x550 mm
- 250x250x250 mm
Materials we can print:
- Accura 60: A clear, hard plastic with the aesthetics of molded PC
- Accura 25: Flexible plastic that simulates white Polypropelene
- ABS
Post-Processing:
Painting, Tinting, Chrome Painting, Vacuum Metalizing, Splitting and Joining for larger parts, Screen Printing, Laser Etching, Enameling on embossed logos or features.
