One thing that has to be considered is how the grain/ metal growth is done. I do not think that SLA produced aluminum parts will be as strong as a CNC machined parts made from certified billets.
For example, my 3D printed carbon fiber parts are not as strong as proper laminate layups. So the CAD design has to incorporate a loss of 30% in stiffness and strength.
