SLA (Stereolithography) 3D printing is the gold standard for creating accurate prototypes with exceptional superior surface quality and intricate details. At RapidPro Manufacturing Corporation in Longmont, CO, our SLA machine delivers high-quality parts for applications ranging from concept models to acting as a “master” for creating a soft, silicone mold. This cutting-edge 3D printing technology ensures precision, enabling businesses to refine designs confidently before moving to mass production.
SLA 3D printing operates by using ultraviolet light from a UV laser to cure layers of a liquid printing resins, solidifying the material layer by layer in a resin tank. This additive manufacturing process achieves tight tolerances and dimensional accuracy, making it ideal for model prototypes, cosmetic prototypes, and visual prototypes.
Whether for medical devices, dental models, or architectural models, SLA offers a range of applications with optimal material properties to meet diverse project demands.
RapidPro’s extensive material library includes biocompatible materials, castable resins, and advanced options tailored for short-run end-use part production or model prototyping. Our SLA printing process accommodates standard resins as well as specialized options like dental resin and format resins, ensuring solutions for industries such as healthcare, consumer products, and automotive.
By combining print preparation software with expertise in layer height optimization, we deliver high-quality parts that meet precise dimensional tolerances and exhibit reliable impact resistance.
RapidPro integrates SLA 3D printing into the product development cycle, allowing clients to test and refine physical models with efficiency. Our SLA 3D printers provide reliable print engines and affordable access to advanced materials, enabling rapid turnaround for projects of any scale—from desktop printers for small projects to industrial printers for full-size aerodynamic surfaces.
For applications like patterns for investment casting, our SLA technology ensures clean burnout, low thermal expansion, and thermal properties suited for demanding production environments.
Common applications include:
At RapidPro, we integrate SLA 3D printing with other key production services, such as plastic injection molding, to provide clients with comprehensive support allowing them to test designs and refine products before full-scale production.
