Stereolithography Prototypes (SLA)

SLA modelling (Stereolithography prototypes) offers the most accurate type of fit/form prototype for the verification of any design before committing to your chosen production route. Please download ‘CRDM Tolerance Standards’ PDF for SLA tolerances.

CRDM operate three SLA 250 machines, one SLA 3500 system and one SLA 500 machine to produce Stereolithography prototypes from a choice of four different SLA resins to suite your individual requirements. 

Stereolithography resins available:

Somos GP Plus/ 3D Systems 7811 - ABS mimic
Somos 9120 & 9120S - PP/PE mimic
3D Systems 7870 - clear rigid plastic mimic

We can also supply 3D Systems - Bluestone (very high temperature resistant ceramic filled resin)

All Stereolithography models are built with a 0.1mm layer thickness and can be supplied in basic finish (C3) through to fully painted and detailed (A1) or for 7870 parts clear laquered or polished to achieve a clear finish.

For sample swatches of any of the above materials please send us a request via this contact form
