Stereolithography 3D printer anyone?

[Jasper C.]

There's yet another 3D printer up on Kickstarter, but this time it's a stereolithography system.  They claim resolutions of down to 25 microns.

FORM 1 at Kickstarter

Looks nice, but at 3K it's nowhere near cheap.  (Yes, cheaper than the alternatives, but still...)

[Jan Detlefsen]

this printer is constructed using cheap Bluray lasers and fast mirrors
to cure the resin, which is exactly how professional SLS printer work
like, but there is another universe of DIY printer using DLPs to cure
the resin, the main opensource project with this idea being the
Lemoncurry project

it should be considerable cheaper to build one of those, with same
printing resolution.
Another project using the same idea:
