SLA (Stereolithography) and PolyJet are both Rapid Prototyping processes utilizing photocurable plastic materials. Each produces parts suitable for concepts models, form and fit models, presentation models and as master patterns for cast urethane parts.
| Applications | Layer Thickness | Envelope (XxYxZ) | Lead Time* | Tolerance** | |
| SLA Standard | Good for prototypes an master patterns that need to be built quickly and economically | 0.007" | Unlimited | 2-4 Days | ± 0.015" or ± 0.002"/" |
| SLA Premium | Excellent for prototypes and master patterns; provides excellent detail and requires less finishing work | 0.005" | Unlimited | 2-4 Days | ± 0.015" or ± 0.0015"/" |
| HDSL | Provides exceptional detail in less time, requiring less post finishing work; suitable for high-quality prototypes and master patterns | 0.004" | 25" x 29" x 21" | 2-5 Days | ± 0.010" or ± 0.001"/" |
| ID-Light™ | Excellent for light-weight appearance models with exceptional surface finish; uses proprietary build style | 0.007" | Unlimited | 2-5 Days | ± 0.015" or ± 0.002"/" |
| PolyJet Standard | High-speed and economical; suitable for smaller prototypes and master patterns with fine feature detail | 0.0011" | Optimium 2" x 5" x 5" 19" x 15" x 7.9" Max |
1-3 Days | ± 0.005" or ± 0.001"/" |
