sub-34 mm parts; build volume 830×830×550 mm; parts up to 1,500 mm length; 25% faster builds via dual laser; 3×
throughput vs prior SLA generation; 80+ material formulations; 24/7 lights-out production ready; ArrayCast reduces
manual investment-casting labour 20×.
Stereolithography is the original additive manufacturing technology — and after three decades of refinement, it
has reached a performance inflection point where industrial SLA systems are genuinely competing with CNC
machining for fine-detail precision parts. The global SLA 3D printing market, valued at USD 2.8 billion in 2025,
is forecast to reach USD 19.9 billion by 2035 at a CAGR of 21.5 percent — one of the most aggressive growth
trajectories in advanced manufacturing. The driver is not just better machines but a convergence of healthcare
adoption, aerospace qualification, dental throughput requirements, and the commercial arrival of continuous
24/7 lights-out production platforms that make SLA financially viable in production rather than just prototyping
environments.
