#2Wow, that's a lot of funding for just another resin 3d printer. We have had printers like Form1 in the low-cost segment.
I'm surprised about the funding amount, as the market is currently very very stagnating.

#3Very hype heavy article. No mention of Form Labs who is already on the market with a similar product.

I dunno. Seems about right these days for the "cool" factor.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
That video looked pretty magical to me.

#5“This is the first 3D printing tech that really has the potential to break out of the prototyping realm that 3D printing has been relegated to until now”
Nope. 3D printing has been there for quite a while already: it is being used quite massively in the aerospace industry, and not for prototyping...

Their method of manufacturing is different than others. It makes the process faster, allows for greater detail, eliminated the issue of having layers which weakens the structure, and it allows for much more complex designs without the need for temporary structures.
I think their funding is well placed and will indeed give the 3d printing industry a shake up on the consumer market.

#8I like this 1.5 minute video on the technology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3TgmvV2ElQ
Whether the economics ultimately work or not, it's an incredibly compelling demo.

Different from other resin printers? It doesn't seem different than them, at least from this material.

#10There is a TED talk by one of the founders with a little bit more detail on what makes their printer different.
