Stereolithography (SLA or SL; also known as stereolithography apparatus, optical fabrication, photo-solidification, or resin printing) is a form of 3D printing technology used for creating models, prototypes, patterns, and production of parts in a layer by layer fashion using photopolymerization. This process is generally slower than FDM printing, but the parts are a much higher quality. This style of 3D printing is idea for making functioning prototypes. Formlabs are our only SLA Printers, refer to 3D printer specs for bed size.
The following resin types are available for 3D printing with our SLA printers:

The cost is based on weight/volume and will be calculated before the file is printed. The rate for PLA is $0.06 per gram of material, and SLA resin ranges from $0.24 per mL up to $0.42 per mL. Fees are deducted from your lab printing account prior to printing. If there are insufficient funds in your account, the model will not be printed.
