#2While you end up with an acrylic model, this should be suitable for lost-wax style casting. Being able to create an unpixilated identical or scaled copy of a model will be fantastic for fine art sculpture (or destroy the industry, if copies become too easy to make). Just take your acrylic model, attach casting channels, cover in ceramic, dry, pour in your bronze, cool, crack, trim, patina, ship. Avoid all of the fiddly mold making and wax finishing completely.

#3This looks like it's wasting a lot of material comparing to DLP printers.

#4The speed is amazing but the amount of waste seems rather large as they most likely can't (re)use resin that has already absorbed (an unknown amount of) light before.

Maybe they can 3d print a custom container first

#6Uh, that's a standard resin printer. Except horizontal plus rotation instead of vertical. Trades angular resolution for vertical.
Yes, they can be fast.
They should fix their headlines.

Except standard stereolithography only solidifies the outer surface layer.

#8So it can make you "tea, earl grey, hot" or anything else ... but made only out of unbcoloured acrylic resin.

Take a break and enjoy some scolding hot resin.
