Desktop stereolithography (SLA) empowers you to create high definition models showing the finest details, while making it easy to post-process sculpts for a truly realistic look. Formlabs has teamed up with ZBrush to streamline the 3D printing pipeline by transferring designs directly to PreForm for printing.
