Thanks for the clarification. I agree to an extent...
Just recently there was a high end, high volume print shop that
installed a $5 million dollar print press a mile away from my facility.
There is still a demand to manufacturer equipment such as this and for
service providers to invest in large capital equipment like this print
press even when we can buy a $100 printer at Best Buy.
Our industry may evolve very similarly in the next 10, 20, 30+ years.
It will prove to be quite interesting and fun to be part of the
evolution of our industry.

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

will be available?
