SLA (stereolithography) 3D Printed Parts
high-resolution parts representing a range of common injection-molded materials
- excellent resolution and surface finish (50-100 micron layer thickness)
- many materials and properties
- robust parts with excellent surface finish at a very competitive cost
- get parts with the look, properties, finish and functionality of many common injection molded materials
Applications
- Prototypes
- Production Parts
- Proof of Concept
- Manufacturing Tools
- Work-Holding Fixtures

ABS-like |
high resolution, fine features, and a smooth surface finish - mimics the characteristics of ABS |
black, white, grey (custom colors available) |
50 microns (.002") and 100 microns (.004") layers |
ABS |
65 MPa / 9380 psi |
ABS-like (clear) |
Same as Standard material but clear in appearance. Can be polished to produce ultra clear parts |

50 microns (.002") and 100 microns (.004") layers |
ABS / PC |
65 MPa / 9380 psi |
ABS-like |
strong and functional parts; ABS-like with superior engineering qualities |
grey |
50 microns (.002") and 100 microns (.004") layers |
ABS w/ superior engineering qualities |
61.2 MPa / 8876 psi |
Rigid (glass-filled) |
reinforced with glass to offer very high stiffness and a polished finish; highly resistant to deformation over time and is great for printing thin walls and features. |
white / off-white |
50 microns (.002") and 100 microns (.004") layers |
glass-filled thermoplastics |
75 MPa / 10907 psi |
Tough (ABS-like) |
cyan (blue)lates ABS; use for parts that will undergo high stress and strain; functional prototyping of assemblies, machining, snap-fits and living hinges. |
cyan (blue) |
50 microns (.002") and 100 microns (.004") layers |
ABS-plus |
55.7 MPa / 8078 psi |
Durable (PP / HDPE) |
use for prototypes that will eventually be made from polypropylene (PP) or high density polyethylene (HDPE); high elongation, deformation, and/or impact resistance |
yellow |
50 microns (.002") and 100 microns (.004") layers |
polypropylene (PP) / high density polyethylene (HDPE) |
31.8 MPa / 4612 psi |
High-Temp |
parts for high temperature applications, moldmaking, thermoforming, vulcanization, and electronics encapsulation. |
dark tan |
50 microns (.002") and 100 microns (.004") layers |
ULTEM |
51.1 MPa / 7411 psi |
Unless otherwise stated, expected tolerances on all SLA parts will be held to within +/- 0.0075” within the first inch and +/- 0.0015” for each additional inch (+/-.254mm within the first 25.4mm and +/- .05mm for each additional 25.4mm), or better. Part geometry, wall thickness, and build orientation can have an effect on tolerances. Please let us know if you have critical dimensions that need to be met. Generally speaking, minimum feature size/wall thicknesses should be .025" or larger.
