Stereolithography (SLA) 3D Printing Service

High-Resolution Prototypes In Days.

Stereolithography (SLA) 3D Printing at Mucision

Stereolithography (SLA) is a cutting-edge industrial 3D printing process that delivers unparalleled precision and speed while minimizing the need for support structures. This technology is capable of producing complex parts with tight tolerances, making it an ideal choice for demanding industries such as aerospace, automotive, robotics, consumer products, and high-quality visual prototypes. The efficiency, superior surface finish, and adaptability of SLA make it an invaluable technology for both rapid prototyping and end-use manufacturing applications.
Forge Labs utilizes 3D System’s industrial SLA machines, offering the largest commercially available build envelopes with the capability of producing parts up to 1500 mm (59 inches) in a single build. Layers are cured through vat photopolymerization, in which an ultraviolet laser solidifies the pattern layer by layer. Unlike desktop SLA machines, parts are produced beneath the resin, substantially reducing peeling forces. This innovative approach results in parts with enhanced mechanical properties, surface finish, and accuracy compared to conventional inverted stereolithography.

Why SLA?

Stereolithography (SLA) is the preferred choice for 3D-printed models that demand precise features and a refined surface finish. Mucision’s stereolithography 3D printing service provides both standard and high-resolution options for intricate parts, as well as the capability to print larger parts and products with a build area of up to 29 inches. The ability to create complex features with excellent mechanical properties makes SLA 3D printing a popular choice for final fit checks before transitioning to injection molding services.
Mucision’s manufacturing partner network enables us to offer a broader range of materials compared to other 3D printing companies. We provide a diverse selection of both Accura and Somos brand materials, catering to various industry needs and applications.
Key benefits of SLA 3D printing include:
  • Outstanding surface finish and versatile post-processing options
  • Tight tolerances and exceptional detail precision
  • Ability to create complex shapes with a high degree of accuracy
  • Extensive selection of engineered materials for customized solutions

SLA Finishes Available at Mucision

Supported surfaces will be lightly sanded with 220 or 320 grit sandpaper, then media blasted for a uniform matte finish.

Supports are removed to leave a uniform translucent finish.

All surfaces will be sanded with ultra-fine sandpaper for improved surface quality leaving a ultra-smooth paint ready surface finish.

All surfaces will be sanded with ultra-fine sandpaper for improved surface quality. A high gloss clear coat is applied to enhance shine and increase transparency

Mucision provides additional SLA finishing options, including but not limited to sanding, polishing, painting, post thermal processing, and plating to meet your needs.

 SLA Materials Selection

Accura Xtreme White (XTW) is an exceptionally tough, and highly accurate industrial grade resin for demanding applications. Accura XTW resin is highly versatile, making it ideal for a number of applications from concept models to functional assemblies that require high fatigue resistance such as snap fits & enclosures. The outstanding surface finish makes it also ideal for creating master patterns for both vacuum casting & molding.

Accura ClearVue material is a ideal for models requiring high clarity. This transparent material that simulates the properties and appearance of Polycarbonate and ABS. This material is ideal for design validation, water flow testing, and packaging.

Accura 25 simulates the both the material properties and aesthetics of molded Polypropylene. Accura 25 provides excellent surface finish, durability and elongation strength which allows 3D prints of highly accurate and attractive prototypes that test fit, form and function with outstanding accuracy and dimensional stability.

Accura Bluestone is a high temperature, ultra stiff nano composite ideal for the manufacturing of stable parts. With a post-cure heat deflection of 284°C @ 0.45 MPa, Accura Bluestone is one of the most thermally stable resins available.

Accura XTW Black is our same exceptionally tough, highly accurate industrial grade white resin dyed black. The black dye penetrates deep into the part to offer a robust, high quality black finish ideal for for demanding applications where both mechanical properties and black aesthetics are crucial.

Mucision provides other material option on your request.

The following table presents the general tolerances for industrial-grade stereolithography (SLA) services. However, please note that build stresses, support strategies, and geometric factors may lead to deviations in tolerances and flatness. Enhanced tolerances might be achievable through manual quote review and successful prototyping, subject to case-by-case approval. General tolerances apply prior to secondary finishing or post-processing unless otherwise stated. For further details on tolerances per process, please reach out to our customer service team.
