If you have WWW access, most of what is commonly known about the 3D Systems
MJM process is described at the 3D Systems WWW site http://www.3d.com. If
you contact 3D they might also send a brochure on the system to you.
I think that there are lots of things about the MJM system that many of us
still don't know. All I can say at this time is that the model that I have
seen is very impressive for a "desktop" modelling system. Fine detailed
features would seem to be no problem with edge definition (sharpness of
square corners) being excellent.
I recall that the price is somewhere around the $60,000USD or $70,000USD mark.
