SLA RESINS // A NOMADYN GUIDE TO MATERIALS

At Nomadyn, we push the limits of what’s possible in adventure gear. Our choice of materials reflects that mission—combining cutting-edge technology with rugged durability to create components built for extreme conditions. SLA (Stereolithography) resins from industry leaders like Formlabs and Photocentrics allow us to produce parts with unmatched precision, surface finish, and mechanical performance—enabling designs that go beyond what traditional manufacturing or other 3D printing methods can achieve.

Why We Choose SLA Resins

Unrivaled Detail and Surface Finish:
SLA technology uses finely focused laser curing to create parts layer by layer with extraordinary precision. This process produces smooth surfaces and sharp, intricate features on par with injection molding—allowing us to deliver components that look as good as they perform.

Exceptional Strength and Toughness:
We select specialized SLA resins formulated for toughness and mechanical reliability, capable of withstanding high stresses, impact, and fatigue. These materials are engineered to endure the vibrations, shocks, and rough handling common in off-road and overland adventures.

Complex Geometries Made Simple:
SLA’s accuracy lets us produce parts with complex internal channels, fine ribs, and thin walls that are difficult or impossible to mold traditionally. This expands design possibilities, giving you gear that’s lighter, smarter, and stronger.

Dimensional Stability and Consistency:
Our SLA resins maintain tight tolerances and resist warping over time, ensuring reliable fit and function—even in demanding, repetitive-use applications.

Applications at Nomadyn

Precision Functional Prototypes:
SLA resins help us bring design concepts to life with true-to-final form prototypes that can be tested under real-world conditions. We can rapidly iterate on fit, function, and aesthetics before moving to production, saving time and reducing risk.

Low-Volume and Custom End-Use Parts:
When strength, detail, and finish matter most—especially in small batch or customized parts—SLA resins are a go-to solution. We manufacture durable mounts, housings, and other components that withstand adventure conditions while looking polished and professional.

Environmental Considerations

While SLA resins are not biodegradable, their durability extends part lifespans and reduces replacement frequency. Combined with Nomadyn’s on-demand manufacturing model—producing parts only as needed—this approach helps minimize waste, cut inventory costs, and support sustainable production practices.

On-Demand Manufacturing: Agile, Efficient, and Sustainable

SLA printing enables rapid turnaround and precision manufacturing without the need for expensive tooling or large minimum orders. This agility allows us to respond quickly to customer needs and reduces excess inventory—aligning perfectly with Nomadyn’s commitment to sustainability and quality.

By leveraging the strengths of SLA resins, we deliver high-performance parts that meet the exacting demands of adventurers everywhere—when and where they need them.
