TissueDB/Materials/SLA

Resin (SLA printing) is the photopolymer used in stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) 3D printers. The Formlabs Form 2 SLA printer is specified by its manufacturer at layer thicknesses of 25, 50 or 100 microns.^[1]

(Structural — printed threaded insert and valve body, not tissue simulant)			Urinary Catheterization Simulator (Gillis)	The threaded insert and valve body for the urethra and sphincter were printed on a Formlabs Form 2 SLA printer in Grey Pro resin; the insert was glued into the bottom of the bladder and the valve body screwed in to seal against water leakage.^[2]
