Why choose stereolithography?
Stereolithography is the ideal solution for:
- “Show and tell” parts with smooth surfaces and fine details
- Visual prototypes for photo shoots, market testing and checking 3D drawings
- Prototypes for limited functional testing
- Masters for copying techniques (Reaction Injection Moulding & Vacuum casting )
- Metal components when coated with the metal plating process
- Low volume production of complex geometries
Some good reasons to choose stereolithography:
- Fast: Parts in as little as 2 days
- High level of accuracy and high surface quality
- Representative parts for visual testing
- Functional parts
- Small and large parts - from intricate switch component to car dashboard built in a single piece
- Wide range of finishing options
- Wide range of materials
