Unfortunately, this printer is not jewelry business. Low resolution and low quality! Very soon price for this kind of printer will be $1,000 - 1,500. Don't don't waste $6,990 now.

looks interesting..the rings in the pictures look pretty good along with the dental stuff but it's always better to see a piece in person first  and also find out how long it takes to 'build' a ring

New website now working with more details about this printer.

I am prepared to accept that the quality of my work may not be the best but personally I'd be happy with their accuracy of 

X & Y 37.5 to 50 microns and in the Z axis 1 micron ! 

I have my money set aside to buy one as soon as they are available. I don't see it as a replacement for my Roland mills, more of a compliment to them. A lot of my more intricate designs need a lot of hand finishing when they come off the mill to hollow out the backs and remove wax the mill just can't get to. To 'print' only those pieces would save me so much time and fully justify the investment  

I'll report back when I have one. If it proves to be an unwise investment I will be the first to stand up and admit I wasted my money. Meanwhile, look at their website, read the info and dream......

They say approximately 4 hours for rings, with up to 8 rings stacked together on a build plate. Better than overnight like many other printers.

Yes. I'm trying to calculate how much resin is in a refill bottle and then I can work out the price of a finished piece. I'll try I do it in $'s per cubic centimetre.
