  • Compared to other 3D printing processes, stereolithography parts are easy to sand in order to achieve smooth finishes. Clear resins are also available, allowing the end user to obtain optically clear parts.

    Finishing options include:

    • Painting
    • Clear part finishing
    • Dyeing
    • Color matching
    • Metallic plating
    • Clear coating
    • Insert and hardware installation
    • Silk Screening
    • Pad Printing

Technical Info

Layer thickness is most commonly at 0.004” but with simple machine programming layers can print as thin as 0.001”.
Parts can be printed in single piece as large as 29” x 25” x 21”
Tolerances may change depending on the part geometry, but common tolerances are + 0.004” for the first inch and + 0.002” for each inch thereafter.
At normal layer thicknesses, walls as thin as 0.010” can be produced.  At higher resolution builds, wall thicknesses at 0.0025” can be achieved
Minimum feature size is 0.005” to 0.010” depending on the layer thickness while printing
Minimum hole size is  0.020” to 0.025” depending on the layer thickness while printing
Engraved lettering should be designed at 0.015” tall or wide and 0.015” deep
Raised lettering should be designed at 0.020” high and 0.020” tall and wide
