Production workflow

How a SLA part in Clear Resin ships.

From CAD upload to crated delivery. Every step is timestamped on the digital traveler that arrives with your parts.

  1. 01

    DFM review

    Applications engineer validates thin walls, draft angles, and SLA-specific constraints within 4 business hours.

  2. 02

    Build prep

    Nesting, support generation, and tool-path optimization on calibrated Stereolithography machines.

  3. 03

    Production

    Lights-out runs on certified uv-cure photopolymer stock. Operator initials logged at every shift change.

  4. 04

    QC & ship

    CMM verification on critical dimensions, then DDP shipping with full traceability.

Post-processing

Finishing options

Every SLA part ships with standard post-processing included. Upgrade at quote time for parts that need to look (or behave) like production.

  • IPA wash + UV cure

    Required for full mechanical properties; included.

  • Bench-sand to 1000 grit

    Prep for optical clarity or paint.

  • Hand-polish to clear

    Visible-light transmission > 92%.

  • Spray clear-coat

    UV-stable; for end-use optics.

FAQ

SLA Clear Resin — common questions

What tolerance can I actually hold on a SLA part?
Our published baseline is ± 0.15 mm or ± 0.15%, measured XY-plane on as-built parts. Critical features can be machined post-print for tighter tolerances — flag at quote time.
Is Clear Resin (Photopolymer) certified for electronics use?
Clear Resin (Photopolymer) carries USP Class VI compatible (post-cure), RoHS. ESD-safe handling and IPX-rated enclosure designs supported. Full certificates of conformance ship with every order.
What's the maximum part size?
Our build envelope for this process is 335 × 200 × 300 mm. Larger assemblies are split, printed in sections, and bonded or mechanically joined — ask for a DFM consult.
Can you scale this from prototype to production?
Yes. The same machines and material lots used for your prototype run your production order — no re-qualification needed. Volume pricing kicks in at 50 units and again at 500.
How is pricing calculated?
Material volume × per-cm³ rate + machine setup fee + post-processing + platform markup. The widget above shows the live breakdown — no hidden fees at checkout.
