Checking the market for lower-priced Concept Modelers, once comes across a
variety of machines, two of which being the Micromod WeaveR and the
Autostrade E-Darts Solid Printer.
Micromod RP Ltd. from Israel (http://www.micromod.co.il/profile.html) wants
to build a desktop machine employing a combinination of FDM and
photopolymerization. However, their webpage seems to be pretty static, the
Castle Island Directory (http://home.att.net/~castleisland/com_lks.htm) has
them listed under "Miscellaneous and/or Uncommercialized Technologies", and
so far I haven't heard anything yet about a beta or final machine - does
anyone have news on this system, or can it be considered "dead"?
Autostrade Co. Ltd. from Japan
(http://www.autostrade.co.jp/english/e_darts_eng.html) launched a very neat
desktop SLA system called E-Darts Solid Printer back in 1998, and apparently
they have sold more than 60 yet. However, they seem to serve the Japanese and
Korean markets only - did anyone hear about an E-Darts system in Europe yet?
Thanks for your help,
