Hmm well in 18 months it's not going to be faster than other platforms. Some of the dlp resin technology is already faster.

And this is an industry where somebody brings out something new every few days.

Don't think hp have quite grasped how fast this technology is moving (they DON'T seem to be using rapid prototyping themselves). They seem to be still looking at it as a conventional piece of technology.

ie: 3 years of development and then launch into a captive market.

I don't care how shiny and integrated (don't really like that word when it comes to software) their software is - at the end of the day it's the hardware that counts and they're really dragging their feet on that.
Big mistake.
