While Stereolithography is the most widely used rapid prototyping technology in the industry, this core process depends upon a technologically advanced team of engineers dedicated to delivering quality, timely and cost-effective services.  Auburn Engineering is your source for comprehensive rapid prototyping techniques using SLA, providing faster time to market, lower costs, and high quality plastic parts production.

About Sterolithography

SLA technology uses a fine laser beam of ultraviolet light to solidify liquid polymer into a solid part. This exacting method of curing polymer in plastic using a CNC controlled laser ensures an accurate part, large or small. Given the large build area of 500 mm in all three dimensions, large parts are most economically built.

Stereolithography Finishing

SLA parts can be pattern finished and painted for a realistic appearance, or unfinished when fit is of primary concern. 

Auburn's Stereolithography Material & Machines

Auburn uses solid state lasers in all of its machines along with the finest rapid prototyping materials from DSM Somos to insure quality parts in a very short time frame.  Materials such as Somos DMX-SL 100 help Auburn build production like parts over night that are not only very durable but highly accurate.

Selective Laser Sintering offers the key advantage of making functional parts in essentially final materials.  You have confidence that Auburn Engineering provides the accuracy, expertise and skill to deliver excellence in this complex and exact process.  With this approach, intricate details can be easily replicated and those complex components can be produced.

About Selective Laser Sintering

SLS technology uses a laser to fuse powder into a solid part.  This technology provides parts made from functional materials like glass-filled nylons. SLS models offer the most durable method for rapid prototype part creation.  Materials like nylon and glass-filled nylon offer real, practical solutions when strength is required.
