00:00 Intro. We'll go over what you'll learn in this video.

0:32 SLA 3D printing. To start, we talk about which family this technique belongs to and where the name comes from.

0:47 How an SLA printer works. Here, we'll discuss in detail how an SLA 3D printer works.

1:54 Difference between SLA and DLP printers. In this section, the differences between these two printer types are reviewed, such as the difference in the light source. We'll also touch on the benefits and limitations of each type of printer.

3:20 The main advantages and disadvantages of SLA. Here, we talk about the important things to consider when choosing SLA 3D printing. When to use an SLA 3D printer? When not to use an SLA 3D printer.

5:14 Designing for SLA 3D printing. There are 3 main things to consider when designing parts for SLA: support, part orientation and hollow sections. These concepts are explained in this section of the video.

7:19 SLA applications. In the final part of the video, we'll explain in which applications SLA 3D printing technology is often used and we'll touch on the difference between desktop and industrial SLA printers.
