High-Resolution, Accurate Parts without Tooling
Stereolithography (SLA) is a powerful 3D printing technology that produces extremely accurate and high-resolution parts that are capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping. Selective Laser Sintering service. Tiandiao offers over 15 uniquely engineered SLA materials that can enable products to be brought to the market. Precision CNC machining parts.

Available Finishes for SLA Parts
Matte (Standard) Supported surfaces will be lightly sanded with 220 or 320 grit sandpaper, then media blasted for a uniform matte finish.
Natural Supported surfaces will be lightly sanded with 220 or 320 grit sandpaper for improved surface quality. Sanding scratches will be visible on supported surfaces.
Strip and Ship Supported areas may show small grid-like dots or surface blemishes as a result of support removal.
Quick Clear Available for Accura ClearVue. Only supported surfaces are sanded. Parts will still have visible layering. High gloss clear coat is applied to enhance natural clarity.
Custom Tiandiao provides additional SLA finishing options, including but not limited to sanding, polishing, painting, post thermal processing, and plating to meet your needs.
APPLICATIONS FOR SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING
Concept Models
The speed, accuracy, and great surface finish of SLA parts lets product developers create physical snapshots of their designs through the iterative process.
Rapid Prototyping
SLA can be used to create fully-functional prototypes, with materials that can simulate polypropylene, polycarbonate, ABS, and rigid composites.
Direct Digital Manufacturing
The high accuracy and consistency of SLA makes it an ideal way to build large quantities of discrete or customized parts.
Benefits of SLA 3D Printing
SLA is a go-to choice for 3D printed models that require accurate features and a smooth surface
finish. Tiandiao offers both standard and high-resolution options for fine detail parts, and can
also print larger sized parts and products, offering up to a 29" inch build area. With the
ability to produce complex features with good mechanical properties, SLA 3D prints are often
used for final fit checks before moving to injection molding services. In addition, Tiandiao's
manufacturing partner network allows us to offer a larger variety of materials than other 3D
printing companies - we offer a wide range of both Accura and Somos brand materials.
• Outstanding surface finish and post processing options
• Tight tolerances and high detail precision.
• Complex shapes with a high degree of precision.
• High selection of engineered material
