Having an effective prototype can determine whether a new product succeeds or fails. High-fidelity prototypes can bring ideas to life with a high degree of precision compared to simpler, early-stage models. They allow stakeholders to see, touch, and interact with a near-final product, giving a clear representation of the intended vision.

Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing utilizes a UV laser to cure layers of photopolymer liquid resin to create solid objects. Because of its high resolution and accuracy, SLA printing is often considered one of the best options for creating intricate or detailed parts. However, this level of accuracy can come with an equal amount of cost and complexity. 

Consumers often put more faith in the opinion of influencers than corporations — in fact, according to brand elevation agency Matter Communications, 69% of shoppers trust influencer recommendations over traditional advertisements.
