SLA 3D PRINTING

SLA printing takes place through vat photopolymerization using a light source to polymerize the liquid resin, transforming it into hard plastic. Resins used are thermosetting and light-reactive materials. SLA printing compared to FDM technology has the advantage of offering greater details accuracy, finish and resolution, making it particularly suitable in case the product needs such features.

TecHNOLOGY

Selection of materials

As in FDM printing, SLA technology offers different materials with different properties.

Among the different resins we can find characteristics such as hardness, high and low temperature resistance, impact resistance, elasticity and others, which determine the final choice for the manufacturing of the product.

Resins

Universal Resin

This resin is extremely versatile. It can be used for any type of object that requires high details, well defined contours and great dimensional stability.

PROS

  • Well defined borders

  • High detail

  • Great dimensional stability

ConS

  • Brittle

  • Low impact resistanc

ABS-Like Resin

ABS-Like resin allows the production of pieces or details with properties similar to the ABS, therefore with high impact resistance and excellent hardness that allows printing of parts the require a resistance and durability over time. Compared to ABS this resin maintains a very high definition in the details.

PROs

  • Great durability over time

  • High stiffness

  • Heat resistance

ConS

  • Not suitable for parts with thin wall

Nano-micro Composite Resin

The reinforced nano-micro composite resin has high stiffness and bending resistance as well as excellent chemical resistance. Ideal for production of high performance parts.

PROS

  • Stiffness

  • Flexural strength

  • Chemical resistanceRigidit

ConS

  • Not suitable for parts with thin walls

  • Relatively brittle

Transparent Resin

Transparent resin properties are almost identical to the universal resin with the differences that this it can be post-processed to achieve the transparency of the material.

PROS

  • Well defined borders

  • High details

  • Great dimensional stability

  • Transparency

ConS

  • Brittle

  • Low Impact resistance

Flexible
Resin

This flexible resin is a matt black photpolymer.
This resin has excellent mechanical properties: shore A55 hardness and elongation at break of 160%.
This features make it perfect for production of resistant and elastic industrial parts.

PROS

  • High elongation
  • Soft to the touch
  • Excellent elasticity

ConS

  • Poor resistance to humidy (hygroscopic)

Dental Models 
Resin

This resin is a photopolymer with a rosy color.
Almost odorless, precise and dimensionally stable it’s ideal for the production of dental models, termoforming and aligners.

PROS

  • Dimensional accuracy

  • Low shrinkage
