Realize, Inc. proudly specializes in Stereolithography (SLA) technology with two SLA-5000’s and three Viper si2 SLA systems. Our Vipers are capable of High Resolution (HR) for ultra detailed features. Stereolithography is a layer additive manufacturing method which employs an ultraviolet laser to selectively cure a liquid plastic resin. This process produces a highly accurate and very detailed part that can be further finished to our client’s unique specifications. The time to produce a model can be as little as a few hours or as long as several days, depending on your particular geometry.
