Vision Miner is Selling SLA 3D Printers in 2025 (And Why It Took So Long)

For years, Vision Miner has specialized in high-temperature FDM/FFF 3D printing—engineering-grade thermoplastics like PEEK, ULTEM, PPSU, and other performance polymers. We even expanded into SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) for powdered polymer printing. But one technology we avoided? SLA (Stereolithography) 3D printing—until now. So, why didn’t we sell SLA before? And what changed? Let’s break it down. The Old SLA: Messy, Expensive, and Limited Back when we started, SLA printing had major downsides: ✔️ Limited Material Selection – You had basic ABS-like or PLA-like resins with few high-performance options. ✔️ Messy and Hazardous – Resin handling required gloves, IPA baths, and careful post-processing. ✔️ Small Build Volumes – Early consumer SLA printers were tiny and slow. ✔️ Unreliable Results – Prints failed frequently, supports left ugly marks, and post-processing was a pain. ✔️ High Costs – Resin was expensive, and industrial SLA machines started in the six-figure range. For us, it wasn’t worth the hassle. SLA Has Leveled Up – Here’s What Changed Fast forward to 2025, and SLA is finally ready for professionals. Here’s why we’re adding it to our lineup: ✅ Bigger, Faster, More Affordable – You can now get 8K SLA resolution for under $1,000, with build volumes that rival FDM printers. ✅ Industrial-Grade Resins – Brands like Formlabs have developed high-temp, rigid, and specialty resins (UL94 V-0 flame-retardant, glass-filled, and even biocompatible materials). ✅ Automation & Ease of Use – Modern SLA printers auto-fill resin tanks, have heated chambers, and include wash & cure stations for clean, efficient workflows. ✅ Production-Ready – SLA now enables small-batch manufacturing, high-detail prototyping, and functional end-use parts without the pain of FDM tuning or the cost of SLS. ✅ Minimal Learning Curve – Unlike FDM, which requires tuning, maintenance, and calibration, SLA is push-button simple. Even complete beginners can start printing high-quality parts in minutes. Who Should Consider SLA 3D Printing? If you need: 🔹 Ultra-fine detail and smooth surfaces – No more layer lines. 🔹 Functional prototypes and production parts – SLA resins now rival traditional thermoplastics. 🔹 A hassle-free, scalable workflow – No nozzle clogs, no belt tensioning, no warping. Whether you’re an engineer, a product designer, a manufacturer, or just looking for high-quality prints with minimal setup, SLA has never been a better option. Ready to Upgrade Your Printing Game?
