SLA Clear

Produce superb levels of smoothness, rigidity, and optical transparency – High resolution 3D printing at lower start-up costs than injection moulding

SLA Clear: Precision, Detail, and an Impeccable Surface Finish.

Using IPFL’s clear SLA material, we provide solutions for functional prototypes, props, lenses, and enclosures. Our machines deliver the highest resolution with an incomparable surface finish.

Benefit from the technologies provided by our multi-purpose clear resin for simulating popular engineering polymers such as ABS, nylon and polyester, for water-resistant applications, snap fit features and high-aesthetic production.

Select your SLA material from a wide range designed to meet your needs, including:

  • Standard Resins: High resolution 3D printing to produce a finish that rivals that of injection moulding
  • ABS-like resin: Known for its tough resistance against stress and strain
  • Clear resin: Clear 3D printing to produce small and detailed transparent components
  • Durable resin: Very flexible and favoured for its characteristics shared with Polypropylene (PP)
  • Plus, others including Heat-Resistant Resin; Rubber-like Resin; and Ceramic-Filled Resin

Why use our SLA Material?

  • Unparalleled quality over competitors: a high clarity and highly accurate finish
  • Save money with faster build times that reduce the production process
  • Get to market faster

SLA: How does it work?

Stereolithography (SLA) printing was introduced in the mid-1980s by Charles Hull. Initially focused on rapid prototyping, SLA printing rapidly evolved to encompass a wider range of applications, including functional prototypes, intricate models, and even some end-use parts.

SLA printing operates by solidifying liquid photopolymer resin layer by layer using UV light. After completion, the object is rinsed to eliminate excess resin and cured, often involving additional UV exposure, for enhancing the object’s final properties.

SLA’s precision and ability to create intricate, smooth-surfaced objects make it valuable for applications like rapid prototyping, dental models, and artistic designs.
