I saw the Form 1 in depth at Siggraph last year. For desktop printers under $5,000 USD, it's definitely the best quality printer. It's the only stereo lithography printer available at that price and can print with at least 4x better / finer resolution than the extrusion based printers such as Makerbot. Even though the device is targeted for prototyping, it has enough quality to be used as final output for some applications. Down side is the print volume is quite small, your very limited on choice of printing materials (which also have relatively short shelf life), and the agents used in the process are caustic. You need to wear protective gloves to remove the output from the printer and give it a chemical bath before it's safe to hold with your bare hands - they don't tell you that part until you open the box.

Yesterday I was googling around for 3d printers. I really liked this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHAU-9VIwzk I was wondering if anyone has already start printing some 3D stuff over anyone of these 3d printers? I know there is a software that comes along with it so you can input your models and print them out.
