SLA and DLP 3D printers are popular for producing high-accuracy, isotropic, and watertight prototypes and parts in a range of advanced materials with fine features and smooth surface finish. While very similar in principle, the two technologies can produce significantly varying outputs.

This guide presents a quick and simple walkthrough of the nuances to SLA and DLP processes, how to effectively maximize the potential of each type of machine, and what to expect from final prints. Use this information to determine which 3D printing solution best matches your workflow and applications.
