Wow - Nice link. It seems like that would do it! Now if you used a
copper solution to put down traces instead of resist, you would
really have something! Now that I'm about done with DLP, I could
easily get interested in this project! All of the systems we are
using in this group waste a lot of copper, and an additive system
rather than a subtractive (etching or cnc routing) would be great. I
know that a lot of work is being done on this, but the ability to
drop a singe dot where you want it would let us do a lot of experimental work.
