How much does SLA 3D printing cost?
SLA is priced by print time, resin volume, and finish level, with a setup fee per order. Upload your file for an exact price, usually within one business day — flexible resins and full-polish finishing carry a surcharge, and volume discounts apply automatically on larger runs.
How accurate are SLA parts?
Typical dimensional tolerance is around ±0.1mm depending on geometry and resin, with layer heights as fine as 25µm for high-detail work.
What's the largest part you can print in SLA?
The Form 4BL build volume handles most single parts; larger geometry can be split and bonded, or moved to our large-format FDM machines. Send your file and we'll advise the best route.
Do you offer biocompatible or medical (BioMed) resins?
Yes — we have full biocompatible capability. We print in Formlabs
BioMed resins (including BioMed Amber and BioMed Clear) for medical, device, and surgical-guide applications, with grades rated for skin and short-term body contact and suitable for autoclave sterilisation. We work extensively with medtech clients and incubators, and can source the specific BioMed grade your application requires —

Can you match a custom colour?
Yes — alongside our stocked colours we can colour-match resin for branded or production parts, and paint to a specified colour after printing. Send us your colour reference and we’ll advise the best route.
Can SLA parts be painted or finished?
Yes — white and clear resins take paint and polish beautifully. We offer tiered finishing from a basic clean-up to a smooth, paint-ready or optically clear surface.
How fast can I get SLA parts, and do you ship?
Standard lead time is 2–4 days. We ship across Ontario and Canada-wide, with local pickup available at our Kitchener shop. Rush options are available on request depending on current queue.
Do you do one-off prototypes or only batches?
Both. There's no minimum — order a single prototype or a repeatable batch, and volume pricing kicks in automatically as quantities grow.
