Smooth Details Resin-Based Printing Tactics

Resin printing, or photopolymer three-dimensional (3D) printing, builds objects layer-by-layer from liquid photopolymer resin cured by UV light. Technologies in this segment include stereolithography (SLA), digital light processing (DLP), and masked SLA (MSLA) also known as liquid crystal display (LCD). The result is highly detailed, smooth parts ideal for miniatures, prototypes, and even final pieces.

Boston Micro Fabrication Launches microArch S150 Series
