Our company has engineered a heating tank for delivery of near boiling water on kitchen sinks. We will be building our first proof-of-concept prototype soon, and will require several SLA plastic components to do so. We will soon have our 3D files ready on these parts, but until then, would like to know if we can submit 2D drawings to obtain approximate cost estimates. We will need a strong material that can withstand boiling temperatures.

Don,

Might I ask why you are requiring SLA? Is it for the high resolution, or particular parts of the design that require high resolutions for intricate details?

We specialize in mainly FDM based printing and have had some experience with SLA (we currently are not offering SLA printing). However, in order to better help you and the community here on 3D HUBS, it would help to better know a little more behind why SLA is your choice for this project.

How rigid/flexible do the parts need to be? <<–this is a material and design consideration

Are some parts needing to be extremely rigid while others are partially flexible?

What is the smallest part, or detail of a part that is required?

What kind of pressure at peak temperature will the part need to withstand? <<-- this is possibly an important factor depending on the thickness and size of the part that may be needing to keep pressure contained
