Stereo Lithography (SLA)

High Quality Plastic Parts at Competitive Rate

Stereo Lithography is a process that automates a laser beam to precisely draw or print very thin cross sections of a model onto the surface of a photo-curable liquid plastic. Successive cross sections are built one layer on top of another to form the finished part from the bottom up. Morris Technologies employs multiple SLA machines using the latest technology to provide you with the highest quality parts at extremely competitive rates. Once finished in our machines, each SLA part is meticulously inspected and finished to your exact specifications. Morris Technologies' SLA models offer you:

  • Visualization - 3D models facilitate clear, rapid communication. Errors that are elusive in drawings stand out in real parts.
  • Marketing - SLA models make extremely powerful sales tools, allowing clients to physically hold and examine your proposed product.
  • Part Testing - Functional, flow, wind tunnel and stress tests (photoelastic) may be performed prior to expensive capital outlays.
  • Bid Requests - Suppliers can price quotation packages faster and more competitively with 3D models. Actual cases have documented savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
  • Patterns - SLA parts can be used to make patterns for investment castings or used as tooling for sand or plaster castings...in a fraction of the time hard tooling would be required.
  • Master for Urethanes - SLA models are ideal for masters to make urethane reproductions. SLA parts can be finished to a high degree, enabling the RTV tooling to pick up all of the detail desired. Multiple urethane reproductions can then be made in your choice of color and durameter.
Morris Technologies' SLA equipment includes nine (9) machines, including three (3) SLA-500s, one (1) SLA-7000, two (2) Vipers and three (3) SLA-250s. We run a variety of resins in different colors and durometers (see resin.pdf files below) that can accommodate almost any application.
