When it comes to creating concept models, rapid prototypes, master patterns, snap fit assemblies and form-and-fit testing, 3D Systems’ Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers are the go-to machines for smooth surface finishes, quick turnarounds and accuracy. These top-of-the-line printers use a vat of liquid photopolymer resin cured by an ultraviolet (UV) laser to solidify the pattern layer-by-layer and create a solid 3D model from your 3D printing data.

With piezoelectric printhead technology, layered photocurable plastic resin and wax-casting materials, MultiJet Printing (MJP) produces 3D parts and molds with a strict attention to detail. While it prints products with a surface finish that is rougher than parts printed with an SLA printer, our line of affordable MJP printers, like SLA printers, offers a clear alternative to the injection molding process.

Three different technologies for unique 3D printed results.

  •  

    3D Systems’ SLA Technology:

    • Accurate and smooth surface finishes
    • UV liquid photopolymer resin
    • Rapidly built prototypes for form-and-fit testing
    • Large material selection
    • Parts made using a variety of post-processing options
    • High-resolution parts
    • Large build platforms
    • Produce parts and prototypes within short lead times
    • Rigid, durable, clear and high-temp parts made from large material selection
    • Z-plane: +/- .010” for the first inch, plus +/- .002” for every inch thereafter

  •  

    The MJP Distinction:

    • Printhead technology jets UV curable materials by layer
    • Uses wax support for hands-free removal and ability to design intricate assemblies
    • Produces world-class clear, painted, dyed or plated parts
    • Utilizes Multi-material printing to create composite materials from two-base materials
    • Prints 100% wax material for wax casting patterns
    • Easy to setup, install and operate with minimal maintenance
    • Z-plane resolution with layer thickness as low as 13 microns
    • Affordably priced

  •  

    The Desktop SLA Standard

    • Fixed spot-size resolution of 100 – 200 microns
    • Prints rough structures
    • Scales for bottom-up configuration
    • One dimensional, vector drawing for line-by-line laser writing
    • Uses a value-quality industrial laser
    • Moveable mirror directs laser beam
    • Limited material choices
