mSLA / mDLP 3D printing of intricate details with smooth surfaces in small batches

The right material for your needs—not the other way around

The finest details, the smoothest surfaces, internal channels, and complex geometries—this is the domain of micro-stereolithography / DLP printing. We print your parts to a consistently high standard: with optimized settings for each material, and tested before shipment.

Our approach: First, we identify your requirements—temperature, chemical resistance, elongation, appearance—then we select the material from various suppliers such as Henkel, Altana, igus, Heygears, deltamed, and many others. We don’t use standard printing; instead, we tailor the parameters to each specific resin.

A comprehensive solution for the industrial sector, medical technology, the food industry, R&D labs, and 3D printing service providers who value the high quality of photopolymer printing and don’t want to spend endless time testing material parameters, support settings, and post-curing.

For which applications is mSLA 3D printing the right choice?

Do you have very specific material requirements or need to use original materials? In that case, we can use negative molds to create the material—for example, with silicones for gaskets.
  • Nozzles and fluidic components: internal channels with diameters starting at 0.5 mm, smooth flow channels, pressure-tight.
  • Lab-on-a-chip and microfluidics: delicate structures, optically clear materials, tight tolerances.
  • Electronic switches and housing components: precision locking geometries, snap-fits, and snap hooks—without tooling costs.
  • Prototypes and pre-production samples: from the first sample to small-batch production without tooling changes.
  • Master models for silicone casting and vacuum casting: a smooth surface as the basis for mass production.
  • Any application with high standards for surface finish, detail, and freedom of geometry.

What you get — Material match included

You provide the specifications—we provide the right materials and validated print parameters:
  • Resolution: approx. 40 micrometers laterally (XY) — Details and wall thicknesses as small as 0.1 mm are possible. <
  • Internal channels and structures with a diameter of approximately 0.5 mm, depending on the geometry and material.
  • Wide range of materials: rigid, flexible, transparent, heat-resistant, biocompatible (upon request).
  • Validated print profiles for every resin — exposure time, lift speed, and anti-aliasing can be customized.
  • Small-batch production with no tooling costs: cost-effective for quantities ranging from a single piece to approximately 50 parts.
  • Optional post-processing: cleaning, UV post-curing, priming, surface treatment.
  • Test reports and quality documentation are available upon request.

It's that easy—in four steps:

  • ① Request: Send us your 3D file (STL, STEP, OBJ, etc.) via email or the contact form—along with your requirements: temperature, material resistance, mechanical properties, quantity, and deadline. We’ll send you a quote within 24 hours.
  • ② Material Match: We analyze your geometry and requirements and recommend the appropriate resin, explaining our reasoning. You decide—changes are always possible.
  • ③ Printing & Inspection: We print using validated parameters for the selected material. Each part is visually inspected and checked for dimensional accuracy before shipment.
  • ④ Delivery: Shipment within 3–5 business days after order confirmation. Express shipping available upon request. Optional measurement report and quality documentation.

For 3D printing service providers — Resin printing as an outsourced service

Resins, acrylics, epoxies, and photopolymers aren’t your core business or your “thing”?
  • Fixed prices per order — making it easy for you to prepare your own quotes.
  • Partner rates for regular volume — available upon request.
  • No minimum order quantity, no framework agreement.
  • Confidential: No direct contact with your end customers without your approval.
  • Includes recommended materials — you can share this expertise directly with your customers.

A customer shares her thoughts:

“Phanos helped us 3D scan a medical sensor device for training purposes, of which we only had a physical prototype. Phanos created the master patterns using a printing technique that produces very smooth surfaces, making them ideal for mass production via vacuum casting. Phanos also handled this process. Each copy was customized with a serial number.”

“Time management, reliability, and documentation were top-notch, and the parts have been in use for over three years now.”

Claudia Hooijmans, Managing Director of MIFO e.K.

Frequently asked questions

What file formats do you accept?

STL, STEP, OBJ, 3MF — or any other common 3D format. If you’re unsure, just ask.

How much does mSLA/DLP 3D printing cost?

A simple individual part starts at approximately CHF/EUR 25–50. Small batches (10–50 pieces) are less expensive per piece. We will provide a binding quote based on your inquiry—free of charge and with no obligation.

How small can details and wall thicknesses be?

Wall thicknesses and details under 0.1 mm are possible. Internal channels starting at approximately 0.5 mm in diameter, depending on the material. For very delicate geometries, we will confirm feasibility in advance.

How long does an order take?

Typically 3–5 business days after order confirmation for standard materials. Express shipping available—please contact us.

Can you also supply master molds for silicone casting?

Yes—smooth resin parts are ideal as master models. We can assist you with design optimization to ensure easy demolding.

Do you offer partner rates for service providers?

Yes. For businesses with regular volumes, we offer fixed prices and partner rates. Please contact us directly.
