Stereolithography (SLA) is one of the most mesmerising additive manufacturing processes. Instead of building up layers of plastic through extrusion (which is how fused filament fabrication works), SLA sees layers of liquid-resin cured solid with a laser. After each layer is printed, the printer’s tank moves to peel the newly
