SLA(Stereo Lithography Apparatus): also known as stereolithography apparatus, optical fabrication, photo solidification, or resin
printing) is a form of 3D printing technology used for creating models, prototypes, patterns, and production parts in a layer by
layer fashion using photochemical processes by which light causes chemical monomers and oligomers to cross-link together to form
polymers.Those polymers then make up the body of a three-dimensional solid.
Stereolithography (SLA) is a powerful 3D printing technology that produces extremely accurate and high-resolution parts that are
capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping.

Product Description
What is SLA?
How does SLA work?.
Here is how the SLA fabrication process works:
1. The build platform is first positioned in the tank of liquid photopolymer, at a distance of one layer height for the surface of the liquid.
2. Then a UV laser creates the next layer by selectively curing and solidifying the photopolymer resin. The laser beam is focused in the predetermined path using a set of mirrors, called galvon. The whole cross sectional area of the model is scanned, so the produced part is fully solid.
3. When a layer is finished, the platform moves at a safe distance and the sweeper blade re-coats the surface. The process then repeats until the part is complete.
4. After printing, the part is in a green, no-fully-cured state and requires further post processing under UV light if very high
mechanical and thermal properties are required.
The liquid resin is solidified through a process called c: during solidification, the monomer carbon chains that compose the liquid resin are activated by the light of the UV laser and become solid, creating strong unbreakable bonds between each other.The photo polymerization process is irreversible and there is no way to convert the SLA parts back to their liquid form: when heated, they will burn instead of melting. This is because the materials that are produced with SLA are made of thermoset polymers, as opposed to the thermoplastics that FDM uses.
