Printing has always been an expensive technology.
The SLA Cost of PTCAM described earlier in this article exceeds $250,000;
The liquid plastic costs about $800 a gallon.
Organizations with such equipment may sell stereo printing services to others, or allow companies to purchase the time to use the equipment.
Today, many large industrial AM machines, although cheaper than before, are still expensive.
For example, in February 2011, the ProJet CPX 3000 of 3D systems was priced at $79,999, and it could produce a high

These and other types of 3-
D printers can make molds for crowns, bridges and dentures faster and more accurately than the old methods, improving the productivity of dental laboratories [
