What is SLA?
Stereolithography (SLA) is a 3D printing technique used for high-end products where high demands are placed on accuracy and quality of the final product. The products are constructed from a resin (liquid) that is cured by a laser beam hitting the liquid. This results in a very smooth and sturdy product. This 3D technique is suitable for industrial products, but it is also widely used within the dental and medical sectors.
Specs and Benefits SLA
We have years of experience printing SLA resins. 3D printing with SLA offers top quality products with very smooth and sturdy results. There is a good variety of materials to choose from. Ranging from flexible resin to produce bendable parts to high temp resin which can withstand very high temperatures. The table below shows the technical specifications we offer when printing models with SLA.
| Description | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Maximum print volume | 145 x 145 x 185 mm |
| Layer thickness | 25-300 microns |
| Standard delivery time | 5 business days |
Materials available for SLA
Below is a list of the available 3D materials that can be printed by us using the SLA printing technique. Is the material you are looking for for your 3D project not listed? Please contact us.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Standard resin | The standard resin for SLA printing is available in black, gray, white and transparent and has a high quality finish with high accuracy |
| Tough resin | Tough resin was developed to approximate ABS plastic, with similar tensile strength and modulus. Perfectly suited for functional prototypes as it is strong and break resistant. |
| Flexible resin | Flexible resin has a shore of 80A. Use this versatile material to produce parts that need to bend and compress. Flexible is excellent for simulating soft-touch materials and adding ergonomic features to assemblies of multiple materials. |
| Durable | Durable resin is designed to simulate polypropylene (PP) plastic, with similar low modulus and high impact strength. Use this wear-resistant, ductile material when parts require deformation and a smooth, glossy finish. |
| Draft resin | Draft resin prints 3-4 times faster than other standard resins making it suitable for fast printing of large, bulky parts. With a layer height of 300 microns, it has acceptable accuracy for prototyping needs while enabling faster design iterations. Draft Resin is perfect for really fast prototyping and rapid printing of large or multiple parts. |
| High temp resin | High temp resin is heat resistant up to and including 238 degrees Celsius and is specifically designed for parts that must withstand high temperatures. A common application is making molds. |

FAQs about SLA printing
What is SLA 3D printing?
SLA stands for Stereolithography, a 3D printing technique that uses a laser or UV light to harden liquid resin and create a 3D object layer by layer.
Do you have questions about the process of SLA? Feel free to send us a message. And be sure to check out our process for 3D printing with which we always guarantee the highest quality for our customers.
What materials can be used in SLA printing?
SLA printing uses different types of resin materials, such as standard resin, flexible resin, and even biocompatible resin for medical applications.
Want to know more or curious about the applicability of resin materials? Feel free to ask us your question.
What are the benefits of SLA 3D printing?
SLA printing offers unparalleled precision, smooth surfaces, and the ability to produce complex details and thin walls.
Is post-processing required after SLA printing?
In general, SLA-printed objects require minimal post-processing due to the high quality of the prints. The prints are cleaned at Vormz and the support is removed.
What are the maximum dimensions of objects that can be printed with SLA?
The maximum build volume may vary depending on the FDM printer. The maximum size is 192x120x245mm. Parts can also always be printed in parts, so no job is too big.

What customers say about us
3D map of an Egyptian temple
Vormz created a 3D map of an Egyptian temple for us, for a new tour created for people with visual impairments. The floor plan allows our guide to explain how a temple was constructed and how the Egyptians used the rooms. The contact was very pleasant and fast and the end result is even better than we had hoped for! We are extremely happy with it.
Great experiences with Vormz
Great experiences with Vormz! Fast quotes, fast delivery and quick, clear communication.
SLA printing at Vormz
We contacted Vormz to print several prototypes. These were printed using the SLA technique. The accuracy and finish of the product were perfect and also had good dimensional accuracy. The communication with Vormz was excellent and he also gave good explanations about the printing method. Our parts were printed in such a way that the highest accuracy could be achieved. Definitely recommended for prototyping!
Printing at Vormz I can only recommend
I was looking for a 3D printing service where I could test some printing techniques for prototyping. Also some individual parts for production work. I found at Vormz a smooth service and plenty of options. Short lines, very nice. Thanks for thinking with me and the fast service!
