Actually, a guy named Junior Veloso has been experimenting this=20
(projectors, resins, sources, etc) for a couple years now IIRC on the 3D=20
printing mailing list and got this working nicely prob over a year ago. =20
Then he offered it as a product but at a very high price so others=20
decided to roll their own and start kickstarter projects of this.  I'm=20
sure there are others too.  Junior didn't invent this, but was prob the=20
first to come up with a working DIY machine.  Lots of kudos to him for=20
figuring out the details.

And yes, I've heard the same -- great for models, but strength is less=20
than ABS extruders or powder/sintering machines.

Cheers,
-Neil.
