Stereolithography (SLA)
 Stereolithography (SLA) is an additive manufacturing process for rapid-prototyping which produces a physical, three dimensional object from a 3D CAD file. A Stereolithography machine uses a computer controlled laser to cure a photosensitive resin, layer by layer, to create the 3D part. Materials used in SLA machines are state-of-the-art epoxy resins which produce the most accurate parts.
