Basics
- SLA or Stereolithography is a form of 3D Printing that uses light curable resin and a controlled light source to make 3D objects
- It can acheive very high precision and resolution due to the light source used (typically a laser and optics setup or a DLP projector
Advantages
- Resolution
- Precision
- Diversity of Mechanical Properties Acheivable with Resin
- Diversity of Thermal Properties Acheivable with Resin
- Diversity of Optical Properties Acheivable with Resin
Disadvantages
- Complexity of Device
- Complexity of Input Materials/Consumables
- Complexity of Workflow
- Mess Generated by Workflow
- Enviroment Required
- Cost of Device
- Cost of Consumables/Input Materials
