SLA 3D Printing in Bayreuth: Precision Meets Creative Technology

This VHS course Introduction to SLA 3D Printing on October 21, 2026, at FabLab Bayreuth demonstrates how a digital model transforms into a high-resolution object. The two-hour workshop provides practical insights into the fundamentals of stereolithography and gradually leads participants to professional 3D printing with resin.

From Digital Model to Finished Workpiece

The focus is on the complete process of an SLA print: from selecting suitable materials to preparing the model and executing the print job. Participants will become familiar with the slicing tool PreForm and gain insights into operating a Formlabs 2. The course combines technical expertise with illustrative practical applications.

Fine Details, Resin, and Post-Processing

SLA 3D printing is known for detailed and functional components. Therefore, the workshop also addresses different types of resin and the post-processing of a printed object. The event atmosphere at FabLab Bayreuth provides direct access to modern manufacturing technology, making the visit to the event a tangible technical experience.

Compact Workshop with Limited Participation

The event is limited to a maximum of six participants. This allows space for questions, individual explanations, and a concentrated learning atmosphere. Attendance requires prior participation in an FDM 3D printing workshop. Previous experience in 3D printing additionally facilitates the entry.

Understanding Technology in a Practical Way

FabLab Bayreuth sees itself as an open high-tech workshop in Upper Franconia and emphasizes low-barrier access to modern technology. Throughout the planning of the event, the course combines further education, practical machine knowledge, and creative production. After successful participation, attendees will earn the right to use the SLA 3D printer in FabLab independently.

Conclusion: This VHS course offers a focused introduction to the world of SLA 3D printing – with concrete program points, professional equipment, and ample practical relevance. Those who wish to not only understand additive manufacturing but also experience it for themselves will find the right setting at FabLab Bayreuth.
