Topics covered: SLA is the foundational AM technology. Invented over 30 years ago by Charles Hull, founder of 3D Systems, Inc. Photopolymer-based technology, cured using UV light. Support structures required during build process. Post-processing required to wash and post-cure objects. Prototyping is SLA's biggest application. SLA is known for high resolution and accuracy, and the ability to produce complex parts. SLA parts are not as durable as those created using other AM processes. This edition of the video series does not include the quiz, assessment, or assignment portion as mentioned in the lesson.
