    Patent issues?

    I always thought that SLA technology was protected by patents, and that was the reason why we hadn't seen too many of these printers out there. Is this all 100% open source?

    Patents on SLA and SLS printing expired earlier this year. There was some concern that the Form 1 would run into problems with the patent, but it expired before any legal action could be taken.

    Long story short: SLA and SLS printers are going to become much more common from this year forward than in past years.
