The Web site does not list what the material is. The part look pretty
good, though no telling what kind of post-processing they went through.

WOW- How will this impact Stratasys, ZCorp, and Solidscape?
Also, the Fab@Home efforts may be swimming against the tide.
But, we will probably find that the material costs are higher than the
cost of silver for this new system. Does anyone know the material cost?

Here's the straight poop on it from this quarter's Additive Fabrication
Spy
(TM) Newsletter:
* "3D Systems has had a couple of patent applications published this
period for what might be next-generation photopolymer-based technology.
One describes the use of an endless transparent belt to provide thin,
bubble-free layers of photopolymer at the top of a build stack.
Area-wise exposure is done through the belt using a spatial light
modulator such as a deformable mirror device (DMD). A second patent
application presents methods of increasing the resolution and edge
smoothness parts fabricated with such exposure devices. In addition,
specific photopolymer materials with characteristics which fit the
process are being explored by the company."
