Caporusso, I don't have a report but I estimate the sla-500 can build
approximately 2 kg per day, an sla-250 perhaps .4 kgs per day, and an
sls-2000 about .5 kg per day. These estimates are extremely dependent on
part geometry and orientation. As for total cost, including overhead,
power, people and material.... $1000-$2000 per kg. I'd be interested in
other thoughts on this from the rpml.
P.S. Your English is way way better than my Italian.
