Stereolithography (SLA)
Run on the Formlabs Form 3B and large-format Form 3L. SLA produces parts with surface finish and dimensional accuracy that approach injection-molded quality, ideal for visual prototypes, wind-tunnel models, biocompatible R&D parts, dental and medical models, and master patterns for downstream tooling.
SLA is the precision instrument of our polymer line: micron layer heights, mirror-grade surface finish, and dimensional fidelity that rivals injection molding straight off the build platform. It's the process of choice for parts where the surface, the look, or the feature definition matter as much as the function.
Our resin library spans engineering, biocompatible, dental, casting-wax, ESD-safe, and high-temperature formulations. The Form 3B handles small precision parts, dental and medical R&D, and biocompatible work. The Form 3L delivers large-format scale models, wind-tunnel sections, and presentation-grade prototypes up to 13 inches.
For programs that need optical clarity, microfluidic feature definition, or castable-wax master patterns, SLA is often the only additive process that can hit the spec.
Built for demanding programs.
Tight-tolerance aerodynamic test articles for subsonic and transonic validation: surface finish ready for instrumentation.
Visual masters for silicone tooling, RTV molding, vacuum casting, and investment casting downstream.
Lenses, light pipes, transparent housings, and clear-resin functional prototypes.
BioMed resins for surgical guides, R&D prototypes, and dental models, biocompatible per ISO 10993.
Investment-casting wax patterns for jewelry, dental, and small-batch metal casting.
High-resolution scale models, decorative fabrications, and color-finished presentation parts.
Built on the same AS9100D infrastructure.
Concept models, functional prototypes, wind-tunnel articles, and design-validation builds, turned around in hours, not weeks, with the same supplier you'll use for production.
