Creating tools for thermoforming can be accomplished through various types of manufacturing, including 3D printing. In a previous article, we explored technologies used to create thermoforming tools, as well as practical knowledge for each.
Here, we’ll take a deep dive into the creation of thermoforming tools with SLA 3D printing, including best practices, benefits, and more.

Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing, or resin 3D printing, is an additive manufacturing technology in which a light source – typically a laser or projection – cures liquid resin into hardened plastic.
SLA parts feature high resolution and outstanding surface finishes, especially when compared to other 3D printing technologies. SLA 3D printing is also compatible with a wide variety of materials, meaning an equally broad range of applications can be created with it.
