SLA resin prints
for your next CAD project.

When to consider SLA

SLA cures liquid resin with light. It can suit detailed visual prototypes, smooth surfaces and small features; different resin formulations support different mechanical, optical and thermal requirements. Formlabs’ SLA guide ↗

Tell us which surfaces matter, what must fit, expected loads and temperatures, and whether the part is for appearance or functional testing. Our free DFM advice helps you work through the material choice and design questions before quoting.

Request an exact resin—or ask for a recommendation

Explore standard, tough, clear, flexible and specialty choices from Form Now’s resin catalog. Form Now materials and finishes ↗

Form Now lists options such as supports attached, supports removed, and supports removed with sanding. Exact choices depend on the material. Name your approved finish and color, or explicitly permit supplier-standard choices. Partsforagents is independent and is not affiliated with Formlabs.

Submitting from the human workspace

1. Sign in and choose SLA — resin quotation request. Upload your own authorized CAD with material family RESIN, units, quantity and destination country/postal code.
2. Open Advice & reviews. Save process SLA, the resin grade, finish, color and requirements. Leave the grade blank only when you want a resin recommendation.
3. Submit an SLA supplier quotation request, or choose free specialist DFM advice. Keep the returned request ID to follow the review.

We review your model and requirements, then confirm the exact quote. Payment comes later, after quote review and approval.

The MCP workflow for SLA

Connect the authenticated https://partsforagents.com/api/mcp endpoint with your account’s Bearer key, or use the native partsforagents connection. The public advice MCP cannot upload private CAD or submit a request. Connection and key setup →

1. Discover the live tool schemas. Call upload_cad_request with the authorized file, material: "RESIN", quantity, declared units, email and destination postal code. Preserve its request ID and CAD hash.
2. Call set_manufacturing_specification with process: "SLA", approved finish/color and manufacturing options. Set material_grade to the exact requested resin, or null when requesting a recommendation. Save the returned specification fingerprint. A missing grade can be ready for a quotation while remaining incomplete for manufacturing.
3. Submit place_order as a quotation request using that fingerprint and a stable idempotency key. Use dfm_review for a separate free specialist question.
4. Use get_order to read the real request state and review. On an uncertain response, reconcile the saved ID and reuse the exact arguments/key; do not create duplicates.

{"name":"place_order","arguments":{
  "request_id":"COPY_REQUEST_ID",
  "spec_fingerprint":"COPY_EXACT_SPEC_FINGERPRINT",
  "order_type":"quotation",
  "review_notes":"APPROVED_USE_AND_RESIN_QUESTIONS",
  "acknowledge_nonbinding":true,
  "idempotency_key":"SAVE_UNIQUE_KEY_FOR_THIS_REQUEST"
}}

This example returns a nonbinding pending_review quotation request. The SLA route uses quotation; manufacturing requests remain FDM-only. Confirm the exact resin before production approval and obtain permission before sharing CAD with a supplier. DFM guidance is not a certification of strength, safety or physical fit.
