Useful Information
Additive manufacturing, 3D printing & rapid prototyping are all terms for the same process of building a three-dimensional object from a digital (CAD) model.
When producing a part from an STL file, it is essential that the part’s geometry is represented as closed surfaces that unambiguously define an enclosed volume.
To truly understand the world of 3D printing, one must first understand the process of stereolithography, as this was the very first method of 3D printing.
The SLA process uses a vat of UV-curable liquid resin which is cured by a laser to build parts one thin layer at a time.
