Home printing – Stereolithography (SLA) printers

Another printing technology that is becoming more accessible at home is the Stereolithography (SLA) printer, commonly referred to as Resin Printers. Instead of a spool of plastic filament, the raw material for resin printers is a pool of UV-sensitive liquid. The printer works by using a UV light to cure and solidify just the sections that will become your object. Your object is raised slightly out of the liquid pool, a process called peeling, and then the printer will solidify the next layer of your object and so on.
