Stratasys Stereolithography (SLA) Technology & Materials

Stereolithography (SLA) is a powerful additive manufacturing technology that transforms liquid photopolymer resin into precision-built parts, layer by layer. Using UV light to solidify photosensitive polymers, SLA creates highly detailed, accurate, and smooth components directly from a vat of resin. The process involves a carefully controlled platform that moves incrementally downward with each layer, enabling the creation of complex geometries with remarkable precision.

This advanced technology serves as an innovative alternative to traditional manufacturing methods, offering unparalleled flexibility for prototyping and production.

SLA materials have progressed from being general-purpose prototyping materials to now encompassing more weather-resistant or high-temperature materials, thereby expanding their application scope with the aim of producing end-use parts.
