Hi!

Thanks for being part of the Font Awesome Community.

Is this a duplicate of #7625? If it isn't could you please provide an example and clarify why it is different?

SLA printers don't extrude like more common 3D printers do.

More common 3D printers are basically a moving hot glue gun. image

SLA printers shine a (UV) light into a goopy resin, so the part comes out solidified kind of terminator style. image

SLA printers typically look like a base with a translucent lid so that the UV rays don't escape out.

Usually parts in SLA printers are pulled out of the vat, so they are hung upside down. In FDM, there's no vat, so the part is grown on the bed
