SLATE Division

---

Our newest division is that of Stereolithography Apparatus Technical Engineering.  We can provide custom parts necessary for:

• Industrial applications - keeping legacy equipment running by printing parts currently unavailable
• Automotive - printing specialty parts that are no longer manufactured
• Tooling - allowing a part to be 3D printed prior to making with more expensive metals to test out functionality
• More - small production runs and 3D printed molds

We can print from your STL drawing or we can design the required part from your specifications.

Stereolithography is a type of three-dimensional printing where a laser beam is used to print or build a structure by layering liquid polymer that hardens on contact with laser light.   What emerges from the liquid is a three-dimensional solid.   Types of structures that are printed can be models, prototypes, patterns, production parts, and many more.   Post processing involves cleaning, deburring or sanding if needed, then put through a curing/hardening process.   Headed up by Tristan Naylor, he is bringing young blood to the company!

Currently, we offer 4 different resin strengths:

• LIGHT DUTY - the most delicate and brittle material for applications such as prototypes to be made from more expensive material such as metal or carbon fiber
• DURABLE - provides a stronger build for applications that need additional strength
• TOUGH-1500 - is stronger yet for more heavy-duty applications
• RIGID-10K - our strongest resin that creates parts that can be used in industrial applications.
