Stereolithography (SLA)

Tap into the power of SLA with Advantage Engineering. With over 25 years’ experience, we guarantee parts to spec every time.

SLA with Advantage Engineering gives you the power to generate parts for a wide range of applications, including low-volume production or making detailed molds for urethane casting.

Why Use SLA For Parts Production?

Produce millimeter- to meter-sized parts with fine detail, and unwavering resolution and accuracy from end-to-end.
Access a variety of material options to fit design requirements, including ideal part manufacturing for prototyping and low volume production.
SLA printed parts are isotropic, having equal strength in the XY plane as well as through the Z-axis.
