Hello,

I recently received two quotes to produce a rapid prototype part which
was cylindrical in nature with a diameter of about 50mm and a height of
8mm. The SLA quote came back at $250 and the SLS quote was only $45.
Why is there such a large difference in cost. Is the SLA material
liquid gold?

Thanks,
Jeff
