SLA (stereolithography): ± 0.2 % (with a lower limit of ± 0.2 mm) The stereolithography (SLA including DLP), together with Polyjet, is the most accurate method. The diameter of the laser is usually between 100 and 150 µm. This is much less compared to the FDM method. This results in fewer tolerances and the […]
Basically, the service life of a 3D printed component always depends heavily on the load and the material selected. Values such as torque, rotational speed, tensile load and compression load play a decisive role. The manufacturing process also has an influence on the durability of the component. 3D printing offers several advantages over milling. The […]
Stereolithography (SLA) is the oldest 3D printing method. It was invented in 1983 by Chuck Hell and patented in 1986. It is the oldest additive method and is still being used today. In a liquid bath filled with a base monomer (liquid plastic), the workpiece is created with a laser by means of exposure to […]
