What is SLA 3D Printing?

SLA (Stereolithography Apparatus) is a popular additive manufacturing process within resin 3D printing. It uses ultraviolet (UV) light to selectively scan liquid photopolymer resin, triggering a polymerization reaction that transforms the resin from liquid to solid. By scanning a laser across each cross-sectional layer, parts are built layer by layer, resulting in highly precise components with detailed features and excellent surface finish.

How does SLA 3D Printing Work

How does SLA 3D Printing Work?

Before printing begins, engineers slice the 3D model and define the appropriate layer thickness to meet the desired accuracy and surface finish.

During the SLA printing process, the build platform is immersed in a vat of liquid photopolymer resin. A UV laser beneath the vat selectively cures the resin surface based on the sliced model data, triggering a Photopolymerisation reaction to form the first layer of the part.

After each layer is cured,the platform raises its height, and a recoater mechanism (blade/roller) spreads a new, even layer of resin. The laser then cures the resin again. This cycle repeats until the part is fully formed, resulting in a highly detailed and dimensionally accurate component.

Advantages of xmake SLA printing

  1. Reducing Lead Times

    SLA typically offers higher moulding efficiencies and faster print speeds than other 3D printing technologies (e.g. FDM) for the same part. It is particularly suited to rapid prototyping and high-frequency iterative design processes.

  2. Precise Printing Accuracy

    SLA 3D printing layer thickness can be as small as 0.001mm, enabling extremely high printing accuracy and detail resolution. It is particularly suitable for prototypes and parts that require high precision and surface quality.

  3. Excellent surface finish

    SLA 3D printed parts usually have a smooth surface quality, which reduces the complexity and time cost of post-processing to a certain extent. It is especially suitable for prototypes or display parts with high demands on appearance.

  4. Complex Structural Design​

    SLA 3D printing supports the fabrication of complex geometries, enabling the creation of overhangs, enclosed cavities, and smooth curved transitions—structures that are challenging to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods.

  5. Broad Material Range

    SLA 3D printing supports a wide range of functional resins, allowing material selection based on specific manufacturing needs. This diversity enables production of parts with tailored mechanical properties for different applications.​

  6. Strong post-processing

    SLA 3D printing supports a variety of post-processing processes, such as sanding, polishing, painting, UV curing, plating, etc., which can further enhance the surface quality and functional performance of parts.
