Process & Materials
Stereolithography is an additive manufacturing process using a laser to build a 3D object layer by layer in a liquid photopolymer vat.
The resin cured in contact with ultraviolet rays quickly creates high-precision components for validating the design or manufacture of presentation models.
We offer a wide variety of materials to meet your applications. Some are ideal for finishing, others for their mechanical performance. Talk to our technical representatives for the best choice.
Specifications
The volumes of vats available vary in size from 10″ x 10″ x 10″ to 29″ x 25.6″ x 22″. We can build the largest and most detailed parts required. In addition, the large number of printers and materials at our disposal allow us to rapidly deliver several parts at a time.
Tolerances
Available tolerances on SLA parts are between 0.002″ and 0.006″. Part geometry, wall thickness and build orientation may affect tolerances. It is important to inform us of the critical dimensions to be met.

Process & Materials
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing process that creates 3D objects from powder materials. A laser is used to heat and fuse the powder layer by layer.
This technology produces functional prototype parts that are ideal for use in harsh environments and demanding applications.
Specifications
Vat volume available for basic nylon (PA) is 13″ x 11″ x 17″. As with most additive technologies, larger parts may be constructed in sections and assembled later.
Tolerances
Available tolerances on SLS parts are between 0.002″and 0.006″. Part geometry, wall thickness and build orientation may affect tolerances. It is important to inform us of the critical dimensions to be met.

Process & Materials
This process uses a movable print head that projects a photopolymer on a build platform.
UV light then passes over each layer of photopolymer to solidify it before the next layer is deposited. Resins of different colors and hardness can be used simultaneously to simulate overmolded parts.
Three materials are available. M3X and Black M3 that achieve outstanding resolution or MX. Talk to our technical representatives for the best choice.
Specifications
The maximum volume available is 21.65″ x 15.5″ x 11.8″. As with most of additive technologies, larger parts can be built in sections and assembled later.
Tolerances
This technology provides the highest resolution available as it can achieve 26 micron UHD. Part geometry, wall thickness and build orientation may affect tolerances. It is important to inform us of the critical dimensions to be met.

Process and Materials
FDM technology consists in extruding a filament of thermoplastic material along a path defined by the build file. Support structures are often necessary and may be broken or melted once build is completed.
FDM offers a wide range of versatile materials for the production of single prototypes or production parts.
Specifications
The available construction volume is 14″ x 10″ x 10″. As with most additive technologies, larger parts may be constructed in sections and assembled later.
Tolerances
Tolerances are between 0.010″ and 0.013″. Part geometry, wall thickness and build orientation may affect tolerances. It is important to inform us of the critical dimensions to be met.
