For aesthetic evaluation and low volume vacuum casting and moulding, Frank R Hay & Sons produces a wide range of SLA models as a fast, cost effective method of proving CAD design before committing to your chosen production route.
With our SLA 250 and 5000 we can manufacture accurate prototypes, with a typical tolerance of +/-0.1mm per 100mm. SLA modelling offers the best RP process for accurate master models for secondary processes and form fit and function prototypes.

Advantages of SLA:
- Quick delivery.
- Produce master models for polyurethane tooling.
- Produce design verification models.
- Investment and Quickcast Tooling.
- Direct Manufacturing.
- Range of material properties.
- Accuracy, not geometry sensitive.
- Parts can be surface finished to look like production material parts.
- Excellent durability and wear characteristics
Stereolithography resins available:
- General Purpose
- Water Clear
- High Temperature filled
Delivery and Finishing:
- 2-3 days for unfinished parts. (Support structure removed and beadblast)
- 3-5 days for finished 'A' surface. (‘A’ surface delayer)
- 5-6 days for fully finished models. (Paint finishes in any colour and finish, gloss, spark, satin, matt).
