Hi guys,

I'm looking to gauge interest in the SLA / Resin 3D printing market.

As I began doing a little research I can see why SLA hasn't really taken off yet. Not only are the printer prices slightly more than their FDM counterpart, but the cost of materials is significantly higher. In my opinion SLA is the better way to generate 3D prints, but it's not as cost effective. What If it was more cost effective? And in another 1-2 years SLA printers will hit the sub $1k range. How interested are YOU in SLA printing compared to FDM?

Form Labs is charging roughly $555/gal of resin, and the lowest cost alternative I've come across is still about $220/gal.

To keep it short, I have the resources to be able to develop and offer a resin specifically for 3D printing. Early estimates suggest I could sell a resin like this around $85-100/gal.

Tldr; Is there a large enough market in SLA for 3D resins that I should invest more time into developing a much more cost effective alternative?
