SLA 3D Printing Services
Stereolithography (SLA) is a powerful 3D printing technology that produces extremely accurate and high resolution parts that are capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping. It offers higher resolution printing than many other 3D printing technologies, allowing customers to print parts with fine details and surface finishes.

Finishing Options for SLA 3D Printing
Pros & Cons of SLA 3D Printing
| Advantages | Considerations |
| Smooth surface finish | Only resin / polymer materials |
| Can print clear/ transparent parts | Limited resistance to UV light if you use resin as the printing material |
| High precision | More expensive setup => more expensive smaller series |
| Fast: Xometry can deliver them in just 5 days | Requires support elements |
