Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is probably the most commonly used 3D print process in the world. However, with recent advances, Stereolithography (SLA), the original 3D printing technology, is challenging FDM for the top spot. What is SLA 3D printing? And why should you consider SLA instead of FDM?

What is Stereolithography (SLA) 3D Printing?

ProTek Models and 3D Printing is a leading provider of SLA 3D printing in Houston, TX.

We offer prototype and production 3D printing using state-of-the-art NEXA3D printers. No other resin 3D printing technology comes close to matching the NEXA for speed, precision, and scalability. Our NEXA 3D printers can produce complex pieces with intricate details and geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve using other manufacturing methods.

Almost as important as choosing the right printer is choosing the right print material to use for a project. ProTek Models offers a wide variety of highly advanced production-grade resins to choose from to ensure the parts we produce meet your requirements.  We’ve partnered with companies like Henkel, BASF, Covestro, Evonik, and Arkema, to formulate polymers that are specially engineered for engineered for ultrafast speed, durability, accuracy, and more economical design cycles and series production.

There are many different resin options available, depending on your application. This includes bio-compatible resins for orthodontic and dental appliances, resins with heat and UV-resistant properties, and resins for producing durable end-use plastic parts and injection molding tools.

Our SLA 3D Printing experts can help you determine the best material for your application.
