Why Industries Use SLA

Turn Detailed Digital Models into Accurate Resin Parts

Polymer 3D Printers SLA EP-A800
Stereolithography cures liquid photopolymer resin with a controlled light source to build parts layer by layer. Industrial SLA is widely used where fine detail, dimensional control and smooth surfaces are important to prototyping, modeling and tooling workflows. Lodestar 3D’s SLA portfolio covers medium and large build formats, allowing teams to evaluate equipment according to part dimensions, accuracy, material, throughput and application requirements.
  • Create detailed appearance and engineering prototypes.
  • Produce large resin models without dividing every geometry into small sections.
  • Support molding, tooling and casting-pattern development.
  • Evaluate transparent, rigid, heat-resistant and application-specific resin workflows where compatible.
