Stereolithographie - Printing with resin

Stereolithography is the oldest patented additive manufacturing process. During this manufacturing process, the printing plate is lowered upside down into a basin with the so-called resin.
This photosensitive resin reacts to the UV light of the laser and hardens in the defined areas. Stereolithography is one of the fastest printing processes and is suitable for both prototypes and series parts.

The special feature:
A layer height of 0.05mm creates a particularly smooth surface. The SLA print also enables a very high resolution of 25μm and thus achieves the best possible accuracy. Fine details can be displayed extremely precisely.

Geometry-related support structures can then be easily removed and the entire component is post-cured or tempered with UV light.

We produce on our high-quality SLA printers up to a size of 335 x 200 x 300mm.

Standard materials

The standard materials can be used to create very precise details and a smooth surface.

Black, white, grey

With a matt surface and great attention to detail, the Black / White / Gray Resin is ideal for direct printing without post-processing. The neutral coloring provides a good basis for printing parts to be painted.

Resins can be colored in 16 colors with the help of the Color Kit.

Clear

Stereolithography 3D printing enables see-through parts to be printed. Clear Resin is suitable for mold making, optics and fluidics, and other applications that require light transmission.
