I think that your refering to SLA technology which is a different method of doing the same thing. We put in a lot of research before settling on the machine we purchased and would be happy to discuss what we found to be the pro's and cons of each technology/machine. What line of business are you in?

Education I.T. Support, Someone in the technology department mentioned them a few months back I remember seeing the original ones on Tomorrows World!!!

In 10 months time my office will be next door to the workshop and I am hoping they may replace more equipment a nice CNC miller would be nice

Cool Super cool

Thanks for sharing that with us John

I had no idea that sort of technology even existed

Must bring a whole new dimension to prototype work

I keep pestering my boss to get us one. It would be so useful at work for rapid prototyping.
But I know we would all abuse it for 'home-work' too.
Very cool chassis though.

Really need to get a CAD file with solid tubes before printing another as it is very fragile. May help to build it a little bit bigger. Probably look better with grey resin aswell.

I will try and get a price together for anyone that wants one but the materials are very expensive.

Default One for me please .....

Hello John,


if you could get me one at a decent price, I supply the matching bodywork vacuumformed for no price, transparant or not.
And while I'm at it, making a few more is no point.
That means I can easily make extra bodies. Without cutting and finishing.
Have a look at my website.
