SLA 3D Printing Services in Hyderabad
Stereolithography (SLA) is the original and most precise form of resin 3D printing. A UV laser traces each layer point-by-point in the resin — achieving surface finish and dimensional accuracy that no other additive technology can match. At iMake, we use Formlabs SLA printers at our Hardware Park Phase 2 facility in Hyderabad, with a professional wash-and-cure station to ensure fully cured, dimensionally stable parts on every order. Build volume is 145×145×185mm. We serve defence, aerospace, medical device, electronics and consumer product clients.
Our SLA 3D Printing Services
We offer SLA printing in Clear, Black, White and Tough resin — with additional speciality resins including Flexible, High-temp and Castable available on request. All parts include professional wash-and-cure as standard. Post-processing includes support removal, sanding, painting and heat-set insert installation. Our CAD engineers optimise print orientation for every job to ensure best surface finish on critical faces and minimal support mark-up.
Benefits of SLA 3D Printing for Your Business
- Highest surface quality: SLA produces the smoothest surface finish of any 3D printing technology — suitable for optical parts, presentation models and parts that will be painted or chrome-plated.
- 25 micron accuracy: Fine features, thin walls, micro-scale text and small holes are resolved at 25 micron layer height — ideal for miniature parts, precision housings and medical device components.
- Material versatility: Clear resins for optical applications, Tough resin for functional mechanical parts, and castable resin for direct jewellery casting.
- Fast turnaround: SLA parts are typically ready within 1–2 working days including full post-processing.
Precision Micro Models with Fasteners and Inserts
SLA's 25 micron resolution makes it the right technology for parts where fine features and tight tolerances are critical — miniature connectors, precision instrument housings, micro-scale architectural models and medical device prototypes. We install brass heat-set inserts into SLA parts for durable threaded fastening points — making the finished part functionally equivalent to an injection-moulded component in many applications.
Replacement Spares for Engineering Devices
- Design flexibility: SLA allows complex geometries — internal channels, fine threads and precision bore features — that are impractical with conventional machining on legacy devices.
- Agile manufacturing: We can produce one-off replacement parts from a scan or drawing within 1–2 days — eliminating long lead times and minimum order requirements from original equipment manufacturers.
- High accuracy: SLA at 25 microns produces replacement parts that fit legacy assemblies with the same precision as the original machined component.
- Fast turnaround: 1–2 working days from file approval to dispatch — critical when downtime is costly.
Miniature Drone and UAV Parts
- Lightweight and strong: SLA parts in Tough resin provide the best strength-to-weight ratio of any resin 3D printing technology — ideal for drone sub-components where mass is critical.
- Rapid design iteration: New drone frame sections, camera mounts and payload brackets can be designed, printed and tested within 24 hours — dramatically reducing prototyping cost and timeline.
- Custom geometry: SLA handles complex organic shapes, internal lattice structures and aerodynamic profiles with no additional tooling cost.

F.A.Q
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the accuracy of SLA 3D printing?
We use Formlabs SLA printers with a layer resolution of 25 microns and overall dimensional accuracy of ±0.5% (minimum ±0.1mm). This is the highest accuracy available from any resin 3D printing technology and is suitable for micro-scale parts, precision housings and jewellery prototypes.
- What is the maximum SLA build size?
Maximum build volume is 145 × 145 × 185 mm. For larger parts, the model can be split and bonded — with minimal visible seam lines in the final part. Contact us to discuss large-format SLA requirements.
- What resins are available?
Standard resins: Clear, Black, White and Tough. Speciality resins on request: Flexible, High-temperature and Castable (for jewellery). Resin selection is advised based on the application — functional parts use Tough; optical or display parts use Clear; presentation models use White or Black.
- What post-processing is included?
All SLA orders include professional wash-and-cure using the Formlabs Form Wash and Form Cure stations. Additional post-processing: support removal, sanding (up to 400 grit for smooth finish), painting and brass heat-set insert installation. Parts are delivered ready for assembly or end use.
- How long does SLA printing take?
Small to medium parts are typically ready in 1 working day including full post-processing. Larger or more complex parts: 2 working days. Rush same-day printing is available for urgent requirements — WhatsApp +91-9494269431 to confirm. Pan-India shipping is available for all orders.
