SLA Rapid Prototyping: The Future of Fast prototypes and parts
Stereolithography (SLA) is among our 3D printing technologies here at HLH Prototypes. We often recommend it for rapid prototyping, particularly when a project requires functional prototypes or concept models. We also use SLA rapid prototyping to create custom patterns or master for vacuum casting, making us your one-stop source for any manufacturing requirement you might need.
Versatility is among the reasons for using SLA 3D printing to make custom prototypes. It uses photocurable resin to build your part one layer at a time in a build chamber. With a high-powered UV laser, the printer cures the resin to create the part with a good surface finish. This process ensures maximum accuracy to your CAD but requires support structures, which we will remove after printing. In addition, SLA allows you to build parts for prototyping and low-volume end-use production, making it a flexible additive manufacturing solution.
Create detailed designs quickly.
We offer SLA rapid prototyping to produce aesthetic models quickly and cost-effectively without sacrificing the details. The process results in parts with a good surface finish, with room for additional processing when necessary. Plus, it ensures high resolution, accuracy, and detail, even for transparent parts. That makes it ideal for parts used in pre-production assembly or for bespoke production parts, like hearing aids.
In addition, it empowers designers and engineers to create high-quality aesthetic models with excellent surface finishing, making it ideal for showing models for trade shows and concept presentations. At HLH Prototypes, we can leverage SLA 3D printing to make prototypes of complex designs and geometries used in sales, communications, and marketing models.
High-quality prototypes
SLA rapid prototyping allows you to make aesthetically pleasing and functional models with good dimensional stability, stiffness, and strength. Depending on your material and technical requirements, we can deliver opaque or clear parts with specific properties, such as moisture- and temperature-resistance.
