Stereolithography (SLA) is the ideal choice for:

• Form and fit testing of new designs
• Functional parts for special projects
• Marketing and trade show models
• Architectural models and one-of’s
• Testing of new designs or reverse engineered parts
• Investment casting patterns for new designs or low volume production parts

Material choices include:

• SL5240 Polypropylene-like
• SL7520 High Strength Resin
• WaterShed 11120
• WaterClear 10120
• Somos Raven 7620

Dimensional tolerances:

• +/- 0.005” or better for the first 3 to 4 Inches

Layer thickness:

• 0.002” to 0.006 depending on desired resolution

Build envelope:

• 20” x 20” x 24”, or up to 10’ long by special order

Delivery:

• Depending on size of part. Turnaround for hand-held parts is typically 24 to 48 hours.

Wax patterns Replacement :

• Quickcast Patterns are used as wax patterns for investment casting of metals such as aluminum, steel, bronze, etc. (See Metal Castings).

Finishing types:

• 2A: Minimum surface sanding and a bead blast finish. Ideal for engineering check models and form/fit testing
• 3A: Each part is sanded and hand-finished, benched, and verified for dimensional accuracy and surface integrity. Ideal for marketing samples, trade show samples and ready for painting.
• Paint and Texture: Parts are painted and textured to exact color match and specified texture. A 3A finish is required prior to paint and texture.
