This is the next-gen 3D printing technology i'm most excited about: UV
cured resins using a single axis platform and a high resolution video
projector. Junior quotes details of down to 50 microns, the "hard
problem" is already solved with commodity video projectors, and the
process seems relatively quick and reliable. The big barrier right now
is the cost of the resin at ~$200/liter, but if that price came down to
$50/liter I think the whole process would have good value. See `this
video <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snOErpOP5Xk>`__ to see the printer
in action.
