Paul,
Guess I should clarify what I meant. while I do not expect the Vflash to have much of an impact on high end service providers, such as your company, I do expect it to have a huge impact on RP manufacturers and service providers like Redeye.
For the RP manufacturers, especially SSYS/ Dimension and Zcorp, it will be a formitable competitor. The process is high speed, clean, and very low investment cost.
For customers of Redeye and other providers who offer little else than building rp parts from STL files, the low cost of the Vflash will allow many the opportunity to bring 3D printing in-house.
Over the past few years Dimension has had a huge impact for SSYS. I expect Vflash to give 3D a huge boost, while impacting SSYS/ Dimension market share.

Jack,
The latest info we have heard is late Q1, 2008.
We expect this system to have a huge industry impact.

We have been waiting for 3D Systems to announce that the V-Flash System can now be purchased, but found a notice on their web site that states it cannot yet be purchased. Does anyone know when it will be available?
