Highlights....
---------------------
-- Is this the $1,000 Hewlett-Packard stereolithography machine described in
a recent New York Times article? Read their application and judge for
yourself.

-- Can you change a hologram into a solid object? Here's an application that
describes a way to do it.

-- Learn the details of soluble photopolymer support materials work from
Objet, and many aspects of the InVision (TM) technology and materials from 3D
