One machine that I have ran into that provides the user with variable
slice thickness is the Sanders Model Maker 3D Modeling System (MM-6PRO).
You can read the information on this technology at
http://www.sanders-prototype.com/techdesc.htm
http://www.sanders-prototype.com/mm6pro.htm
http://www.sanders-prototype.com/datasht.htm
This machine is a low end machine for desktop modeling, but it
provides six different thicknesses different levels of accuracy.
I hope this helps,
Darrell
