Stereolithography, the basic method of 3D printing online, is responsible for all other paths. Today, those paths take us on quite a journey too, winding around approximately ten different basic methods, with endless, fascinating detours revealing futuristic technology still in development, an ever-growing list of materials ranging from resins to plastic polymers to metal powders--and just about everything in between that one could imagine for innovating with additive production.
Surprisingly, the original additive manufacturing methods have been hard to beat over the last few decades, and serious users continue to return to technology like SLA 3D printing service, as well as selective laser sintering (SLS). SLA's many benefits can be overwhelming for engineers and designers who know how to tap into them. This is especially true when producing precise and high-quality industrial parts. SLA 3D printing can also work in conjunction with traditional manufacturing practices such as injection molding.
SLA fits into the vat-polymerization category, along with direct light processing(DLP). SLA uses resin and lasers for 3D-printed structures. Each thin layer liquid resin that has been deposited onto the resin tank top platform is solidified or treated by a laser. The platform is moved up and out of resin tanks, and the part is then 3D printed layer-by-layer. A powerful laser beam draws or traces the part's design in each layer. Once the laser heat has applied, the laser cures or solidifies the parts.
SLA 3D printing service uses a layer height that averages around 100 microns. However, the minimum layer height is only 25 microns. Makenica provides advanced materials that increase precision and accuracy. SLA also has a strong adhesion benefit. This creates a solid foundation and eliminates any concerns about structural integrity.
Makenica customers are also attracted to SLA 3D printers because they can produce precise, small-sized parts.
