Default RE: Grow Jet Parts with a 3D Printer

Hi Matt,

Unfortunately no. SLA is still the hands-down winner at the fine detail level. FDM is best used for fit and function where SLA is perfect for form and asthetics. Today's SLA machines, like 3D Systems Viper, are phenominal!
I can comisurate with you the costs of laser replacement. Not cheap!


Cheers,

Craig
