The race is on to build low cost rapid prototyping systems! 3D Systems is soon to unveil their V-Flash for $10k, and now California startup Desktop Factory is working on an even less expensive prototyping system, to be priced around $5-7k. The V-Flash has the edge on build size, sporting a 7x9x8 build area versus the 5x5x5 inch build area from Desktop Factory. It’ll be interesting to see a head to head comparison of these two systems once they both hit the market.
