    The latter allows for more accuracy...

    Which one would you prefer?
    Can you provide some reference to this or elaborate? It isn't a very scientific explanation.
    Will a more powerful laser need less time?
    Is it irrelevant the laser power because the curing time only depends on the resin?
    Why does a single pass offer more accuracy? Its counter intuitive for me, could you elaborate?

    It is all about inertia and inertial dampening...

    Slower means the mirrors need to move less, and not as fast. For a magnetically activated *and* dampened system that certainly makes a difference.

    Compare it to a car: can you make a tight turn better at 5MPH or 50MPH?

    The galvo works with an electro-magnet, a well modelled system can take that into account and compensate the inertia. Am I wrong? Certainly for faster speeds it gets tricky but looking at the current state it just looks way too slow. If the resin curing speed is not the issue then at least a 2x speed increase would be great if possible.
