This aspect of the 3D design is particularly frustrating. I have put it on
the wish list at every NAUSG conference that I have attended. Its I fairly
straightforward design issue, that could be easily retrofit, assuming it was
done correctly. There are many "mini-vats" that have been improvised by
schools and resin manufacturers. That would be the ideal way to test drive a
resin. I don't understand why someone, better not wait for 3D, doesn't
commercialize one.
