SLA 3D printing is distinct from other technologies like FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), due to its ability to produce highly detailed and smooth parts. While FDM is cost-effective and suitable for functional prototypes, SLA excels in creating fine details and smooth surfaces. SLS, on the other hand, is ideal for producing strong, durable parts with complex geometries but lacks the surface finish quality of SLA.

Our standard lead time for SLA 3D printed parts is 3-5 business days. However, this can vary depending on the project’s complexity and current order volume. For urgent requests, please contact us directly to discuss expedited options. We strive to meet your deadlines while ensuring the highest quality.

SLA 3D printing is widely used across various industries for numerous applications, including:

• High-detail prototypes: Creating prototypes with fine details and smooth surfaces for design validation and functional testing.
• Medical models: Producing highly accurate anatomical models for surgical planning, medical training, and patient communication.
• Dental applications: Fabricating dental models, custom trays, and aligners with high precision.
• Jewelry: Crafting detailed jewelry prototypes and casting patterns with intricate designs.
• Miniatures and collectibles: Producing high-quality miniatures, figurines, and collectibles with excellent detail and finish.
• Functional parts: Manufacturing small, precise functional components for various industrial applications.

Yes, SLA 3D printing allows for batch printing multiple parts simultaneously, as long as they fit within the build volume. This can be particularly beneficial for small parts or when producing multiple identical items. By optimizing the layout in the build space, you can save time and reduce printing costs.

Standard SLA resin is designed for general-purpose use, offering a good balance of detail and mechanical properties. High-detail resin, on the other hand, is formulated to capture extremely fine details and produce smooth surfaces, making it ideal for applications requiring intricate designs, such as jewelry, miniatures, and detailed prototypes. The high-detail resin achieves this by having a lower viscosity and higher resolution curing capabilities, ensuring every fine feature of the design is accurately printed.

Yes, transparent parts can be created using SLA 3D printing by using clear resin. However, achieving optical clarity requires careful post-processing, including thorough washing to remove uncured resin, curing to eliminate any remaining cloudiness, and polishing to enhance transparency. Clear SLA prints are ideal for applications like lenses, light pipes, and fluid flow models where visual inspection or light transmission is essential.

Preparing a 3D model for SLA printing involves several key steps:

• Design Optimization: Ensure your model has adequate wall thickness and is free of unsupported overhangs.
• File Format: Export your model in a compatible file format such as STL or STP.
• Orientation: Orient the model to minimize supports and improve surface quality.
• Support Structures: Add necessary support structures to stabilize the model during printing.
• Hollowing and Drainage Holes: For larger models, hollowing out the design and adding drainage holes can save material and prevent resin trapping. Using software tools and consulting with the 3DRevolution.co.uk team can help ensure your model is optimized for the best printing results.
