From part design to detailed prototype

We take your part from design review and print preparation through SLA printing, post-processing, inspection, and final prototype delivery, with each stage building on the last.

01
DFM Review
Reviewing the layout

We review part geometry, wall thickness, fine features, hollow sections, supports, and orientation before printing. Required changes are identified to improve printability and detail quality.

SLA 3D printing materials

Choose the right resin based on surface finish, detail resolution, strength, flexibility, heat resistance, and the requirements of the final application.

Standard

General-purpose prototyping resin

A versatile resin for detailed prototypes, appearance models, and general form validation.

Ideal ForConcept models, housings, appearance models, detailed parts

Tough

Impact-resistant resin

Designed for functional prototypes requiring improved toughness, impact resistance, and durability.

Tensile Strength≈ 45 to 65 MPa
Density≈ 1.05 to 1.20 g/cm³
Ideal ForFunctional parts, snap fits, enclosures, mechanical prototypes

Durable

Flexible and wear-resistant resin

Offers improved flexibility and impact resistance for parts that experience repeated movement or contact.

Tensile Strength≈ 15 to 35 MPa
Density≈ 1.05 to 1.20 g/cm³

What SLA 3D printing delivers

SLA 3D printing combines high detail, smooth surface quality, fine feature resolution, and material options to produce accurate prototypes for product development and validation.

01

≈ 0.05 to 0.10 mm

Typical Layer Height

SLA produces fine layers and detailed features for prototypes requiring smooth surfaces, small features, and accurate visual representation.

02

High

Detail Resolution

SLA is well suited to fine features, thin sections, text, small components, and detailed product prototypes.

03

High

Surface Quality

SLA produces smooth as-printed surfaces with reduced layer visibility, making it suitable for appearance models and presentation prototypes.

04

Complex

Geometry Capability

SLA can produce detailed housings, enclosures, small components, intricate features, and complex geometries that require high resolution.

05

Low to Medium

Production Volumes

SLA is best suited to prototypes, appearance models, detailed functional parts, and low-volume production where surface quality matters.

06

Low to Medium

Cost Per Part

SLA provides cost-effective production for detailed prototypes without the need for traditional tooling or molds.

Typical values shown are general industry guidelines. Actual results may vary depending on resin selection, part geometry, layer height, orientation, support strategy, machine capability, and post-processing.

Every finish has a purpose.

SLA printed parts can be finished for smooth surfaces, high-quality appearance, custom colors, or additional protection. The right finish depends on the resin, part geometry, and final application.

Cadlete Designs helped me design a 3d model for a quite complex project: the Lightsaber. There were a lot of design decisions which mattered here, and they executed them perfectly! After 3d printing everything worked out well and connected well. The response time is phenomenal, after asking for fixes they were done the next day or even sometimes the same day. They also provided nice explanation videos each time to explain the design choices made. Would definitely recommend!
