What is SLA 3D printing?

SLA (Stereolithography) is a 3D printing technology that cures liquid resin (resin) with UV laser or LCD panel layer by layer. Advantage: very fine details. Ideal for figurines, dental models, jewelry.

How SLA works

The build platform dips into a vat of resin. UV source progressively cures layer after layer. Result: 0.025 mm accuracy - incomparably better than FDM.

SLA variants

  • Laser SLA - most accurate, most expensive
  • DLP - projector shows whole layer
  • MSLA / LCD - LCD mask + UV LED (cheapest)

Post-processing

The print must be washed (IPA) to remove resin residue and UV-cured for final hardness. 30-60 min additional work vs FDM.
