Know 3D Printing? Learn about SLA and DLP printers!

Rather than a simple comparison, this is an educational video about SLA (and SLA/DLP) 3D printers for people who are used to deal with common Fused Deposition Modelling 3D printers, that is, 3d printers which melt plasting and nylon to make shapes.

SLA and SLA/DLP 3D printers are becoming way more affordable this year. A lot of new resins and products is appearing and the sales of these printers are rising explosively. So a new mass market is forming and if you deal with additive fabrication, you can not lose too much time learning new technologies.

So this video tries to leverage on what people who deal with 3D printers already know and teach them the differences regarding resing-based printers. For example, it is never explained what a 'slicer' is, or what is 3d printing in general.

I hope this video proves useful and informative to people who are 
curious about the subject.
