A Brief Look At The Stereolithography Process And Its Advantages

Stereolithography is probably one of the techniques that are utilised for the creation of 3D-printed objects. It could also be called 3D layering or printing, solid imaging, photo-solidification and solid free-form fabrication. This process makes it eminently possible for a specially designed 3D printing machine to convert molten plastic into solid objects. As a result of this, prototypes can be created at a really rapid rate.

SLS And SLA Offer Different Advantages For Rapid Prototyping

When rapid prototyping or even a limited production run is being considered, the choice lies between SLS and SLA. There is frequently a tendency to automatically opt for SLS (Stereo Laser Sintering) in preference to SLA (Stereolithography), though in truth each has its own advantages. This is partially because no support structures are needed. Nonetheless one must look at the characteristics of the various materials available and the end products from each process before deciding.
