sla and dlp printers

There are many 3D printing types of printers which you can be able to use some companies offer the service than others. Two of the most popular kinds that almost everyone, everywhere is talking about on YouTube videos are SLA and DLP printers. However, what exactly really separates these 2 types of printers? But which is the right path for you? Once more to the breach, dear friend… OK let us examine, shall we?

With SLA printing, the resin is hardened using a laser light beam layer by layer. The laser itself is in turn controlled by a computer that tells it where to aim and for how long every drop of resin should be hardened. It is in this form of production that the method was named stereolithography due to this process, hence SLA. It is because of this process that SLA printers are so great when it comes to printing fine intricate details.

Choosing Between Sla and Dlp Printing Technologies

DLP printers work a bit differently, though. So the projector shines light onto to that resin, and exactly like we saw with SLA printers a little while ago - it hardens one layer of another. DLP: A DLP (digital light processing) projector works in a similar fashion, no matter its size and cost -- it employs one or more microscopic mirrors to direct the light toward screen. This is how DLP printers are able to produce objects fast, however they may not be accurate enough for all the minute details SLA resin printers can print.

The first one—the purpose of what you are going to make with print the printer. An SLA printer will be perfect for creating very small, detailed objects. They are good for creating small details and delicate shapes that come out beautiful. But, if you want to be printing bigger sizes of objects where the fine details are taken less into consideration than a DLP printer might serve better.
