Abstract - Stereolithography 3D printing (SLA) has evolved into a leading additive manufacturing technology, revolutionizing various industries with its precision and versatility. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the advances and challenges in SLA 3D printing technology. This overview begins with an overview of the principles of SLA printing, including the photopolymerization process and the role of digital slicing software in creating printable 3D models. Next, recent advances in materials such as photopolymer resins have improved mechanical, biocompatibility, and functional properties, expanding the applications of his SLA printing in areas such as aerospace, healthcare, and consumer products. This section explains.

Additionally, this review addresses improvements to hardware components such as light sources, build platforms, and optical systems, resulting in increased print speed, resolution, and reliability. Additionally, the impact of advances in post-processing techniques such as UV curing, rinsing, and surface finishing on the final print quality will be investigated.

Key Words: Stereolithography, photopolymerization, 3D printing, hardware, UV curing, rinsing.
