Why Hardware Startups Should Use Stereolithography for Precision Prototypes
In this episode of Hardware Startups with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into stereolithography (SLA) — the 3D printing technology that gives hardware startups sub-50-micron accuracy for tight-tolerance prototypes. They break down when SLA beats selective laser sintering, how startups like Formlabs and Carbon made it accessible, and why a $3,000 desktop SLA printer can save months of CNC iteration. Specific focus on a case: a medical-device startup that used SLA to print a fluidic manifold with 0.1-millimeter channels, cutting development time from six months to three. They also discuss the…
