Hey Ian,

I think it could be ACES injection molding (AIM) from 3D-Systems.
ACES describes the build style: Accurate, Clear, Epoxy, Solid.
I think you can find a short process description in the Rapid Prototyping
Report January 1997.

The new high temperature stable resins (HTG) will support this.

Regards

Kai
