Stereo lithography
Advantages
Areas of Use
A focussed laser beam directed onto an epoxy resin forms layers and forms the required geometry
3D-CAD data is converted into STL format
Stereo lithography allows high precision on fine structures with very thin internal and external walls
Rapid construction
Hollow complex components can be produced
Prototypes, hallow components, illustration models, concept models
The current trend shows that STL is moving in the "rapid manufacturing" direction
