SLA works by utilizing the principles of photopolymerization.
The additive manufacturing process begins with a vat of liquid resin selectively cured by a UV light source, solidifying one layer at a time.
The build platform gradually moves, curing and fusing each layer. This precise layering process produces highly accurate, intricate parts with smooth surface finishes.

Protects SLA prints from UV exposure while enhancing visual appearance. This finish helps maintain color stability and preserves the part’s structural integrity over time.
A primer is first applied to create a smooth base, followed by a color coating. This enables detailed, high-quality surfaces and customized visual results.
Careful buffing and smoothing create a glossy, reflective surface that enhances fine details and can improve transparency.
Fine particles such as sand or glass beads remove the outer layer to create a smooth, uniform surface and eliminate support marks.
