: Stereolithography (SLA)

MAS 2.0 - Guides - F.A.Q. - Tutorials - Home

 

Basic Information

Stereolithograpy (SLA) is rapid prototyping method for solid, free-form fabrication, A CAD model is decomposed into slices (down to 0.004 inches thick), and SLA builds the part a layer at a time. The contour and interior of a slice are created using a laser to solidify liquid polymer. Support structures must also be built to create parts with overhangs.
