SLA: Stereo Lithography - It's that 3D process of using UV resin and lasers to create a 3D model from a drawing. I think there are actually several methods and materials, but that's one of them. See:

BTW, thanks to everyone for the numerous replies to my original question on this. That is some kind of an expensive process I guess, probably out of the realm of possibilities for me at this time. Looks like stock cases, modified to suit for this project.
