Process:
CNC Machining is a subtract manufacturing process,which means the raw material will be removed with a variety of precision cutting tools .
SLA (stereo-lithography) is a "rapid prototyping" process which will create an object.
Materials:
CNC:
SLA: Resin(white or Transparent),ABS
Leading time
Compared with SLA , CNC Machining will need more time to machine.Generally speaking,SLA will need 1 -2days and CNC Machining will spend 3-4days!
Surface finish
CNC Machining & 3D Printing could have a lot of surface finish like polish,sandblast,chrome plating,painting,silk-screen etc. The effects will be similar.
