I'm very impressed at the results I have seen from this printer thus far. Formlabs just recently posted some sample prints that are really great looking:
These don't even appear as though they have come from a 3D printer...

Today, Formlabs announced 2 new resins. These include their Castable Resin, which is ideal for making jewelry and small parts, as well as their Flexible Resin. The Flexible Resin has so much potential, as it can be printed both thick and thin, to take on different properties. If printed thin it will be very pliable, but when printed thicker it becomes extremely impact-resistant. Gone are the days where SLA 3D printers limited us in material options. What do you think about these new materials? Read and see more at: http://3dprint.com/20327/formlabs-fl...astable-resin/

have to admit it's an impressive piece of kit.
Still expensive to run, but the prints are very high quality.

Does SLA still get brittle with sunlight, thus making it not suitable for production parts like FDM ?
Printer will print perfect...
