Stereolithography (SLA) bụ teknụzụ nyocha ngwa ngwa a na-ejikarị eme ihe. Ọ nwere ike ịmepụta akụkụ polymer zuru oke na nke zuru oke. Ọ bụ usoro prototyping mbụ ngwa ngwa, nke 3D Systems, Inc. webatara na 1988, dabere na ọrụ onye mepụtara Charles Hull. Ọ na-eji laser UV dị obere, lekwasịrị anya nke ukwuu iji chọpụta akụkụ obe na-aga n'ihu nke ihe nwere akụkụ atọ n'ime vat nke polymer photosensitive mmiri mmiri. Ka laser na-enyocha oyi akwa ahụ, polymer na-esiwanye ike na ebe ndị ahụ gafere dị ka mmiri mmiri. Mgbe oyi akwa gwụchara, a na-ebugharị agụba ọkwa n'elu iji mee ka ọ dị nro tupu idowe oyi akwa ọzọ.
