Stereolithography (SLA) is a 3D printing process that utilizes a liquid resin as the printing material. The model is sliced into thin layers. In SLA, a vat of liquid resin is used, and a build platform is submerged into the resin. A laser or a light source then selectively cures the resin, solidifying it layer by layer based on the sliced design. As each layer is cured, the build platform gradually lifts out of the vat, and the excess liquid resin is drained away. Finally, the object is fully cured and removed from the build platform.
SLA offers high precision and smooth surface finish, making it ideal for producing intricate and detailed parts, jewelry, dental models, and other highly accurate prototypes.
