3D Systems Stereolithography Apparatus turns a CAD file into a model or prototype in a few hours. The company offers a full range of SLAs from basic entry level models to large, top of the line machines offering a wide range of options. Though the SLAs vary significantly in part size capacity and throughput, they all offer similar features:
Flexibility: Use in wide range of applications including concept modeling, fit verification, masters for range of plastics molding processes, patterns for investment casting and sand casting.
Accuracy: Ideal for parts with complex geometries.
Adaptability: Builds multiple identical or unique parts simultaneously.
Variety: Select from multiple polymers to support a variety of applications. Most SLAs support the company's QuickCast
build style for investment casting applications.
Cost effectiveness: Virtually all polymer solidified in part building composes the actual part; thus no material is wasted. Runs unattended during the build cycle.
