The SLA model is more than "just a one-off model". It's from some kind of a machine where you feed it a CAD file and it literally creates this 3D object for you. Perhaps someone else on this BBS can describe the machine in detail?

I've heard of two kinds of machines that will do this, one is purely mechanical and will sculpt the thing for you, and the other is really weird and cool, and it uses beams of some kind (Lasers? Microwaves? Dunno) to harden 3D points in the interior of a vat of liquid resin. You then drain away the resin and what's left is a 3D model.

So what kind of method was used to create the Empeg model?
