SLA 3D Printing Service
Get high-performance parts for quick prototyping and production with Super Pixels’ SLA 3D printing service. We provide a wide variety of resin materials for both prototyping and industrial applications, with parts available in as little as 5 days.
What is SLA 3D Printing Technology?
Stereolithography (SLA), or resin 3D printing, is a technology known for producing parts with exceptional resolution, fine details, and smooth surface finishes. As part of the vat photopolymerization family, SLA uses photosensitive thermoset polymers to create custom parts. For rapid prototyping, we use Formlabs materials, and for large-scale production, we rely on 3D Systems Accura materials.
What is Post-processing for SLA?
Our standard finish ensures your parts are clean, smooth, and production-ready:
- All support structures are removed, and remaining nibs are sanded for a consistent surface finish.
- Clear resins receive a polishing oil treatment to enhance transparency.
- All Formlabs materials are UV-cured in a Form Cure machine, using the official Formlabs “Recommended Cure” settings for optimal strength and accuracy.
- Parts are inspected to meet surface quality and dimensional standards before shipment.
- Ideal for prototypes, concept models, and functional testing without the need for extra finishing.
High Standards for SLA 3D Printing
We manufacture your custom parts to strict quality standards, ensuring every order meets the Super Pixels. Each part undergoes a thorough inspection, and a detailed report is included with every shipment for full transparency.
- Parts are fully cured according to the resin manufacturer's specifications before shipping.
- Any hollow sections are carefully drained of excess resin to ensure part integrity.
- All support material is removed, and support nibs are sanded smooth for a clean finish.

Advantages and Drawbacks of
SLA 3D Printing
- High accuracy: SLA delivers exceptional dimensional precision and detail, ideal for intricate designs.
- Smooth surface finish: Parts have a professional appearance, perfect for visual prototypes and presentation models.
- Excellent resolution: Capable of printing very fine features, making it suitable for dental, jewelry, and medical applications.
- Great for complex geometries: Accurately produces designs that are challenging for other 3D printing methods.
Advantages of SLA 3D Printing
- Brittle materials: Standard SLA parts can be fragile and not ideal for functional or load-bearing use.
- UV sensitivity: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can degrade mechanical properties and appearance over time.
- Post-processing required: Support structures must be removed, and surfaces may need extra finishing to remove marks
- Lower durability: SLA materials are generally less robust than those used in technologies like FDM or SLS.
- Handling requirements: Parts require post-curing and careful storage to maintain quality and performance.
