MSLA/LCD resin printing
MSLA/LCD resin printing is run in house for fine detail, smooth surfaces and small parts.
What it is
MSLA/LCD resin printing is run in house for fine detail, smooth surfaces and small parts.
Resin is selected when the geometry and the visible result make it the right process. We discuss the intended use before confirming that route.
What it is best for
- Fine detail that needs to stay legible.
- Small parts where a smooth surface is important.
- Visual models and detail-led geometry.
What it is not for
This matters as much as the feature list. Choosing the wrong process can make the part less useful before material and geometry are even reviewed.
- Parts whose priority is strength and function. FDM remains the primary process for that work.
- A route where automatic support generation is expected.
How we handle it
Our tooling analyses the STL geometry and keeps review checks visible. It does not auto-generate supports, exposure profiles or machine files. Support layout and exposure work are completed by hand, giving the person preparing the part direct control over both decisions.
The manual handoff is deliberate. It keeps support and exposure decisions in the hands of the person preparing the part.
How to choose
Start with the part’s priority. Choose FDM when strength and function lead. Choose resin when fine detail and surface finish lead. If both matter, send the geometry and describe the result that matters most; we will make the trade-off visible in review.
