Basically every fine powder is an explosion hazard, the flour you have in your pantry included. (If you don’t believe me i have an old still standing but exploded flour mill in downtown Minneapolis to show you)
Yeah I wonder about that. They mention the whole glass build unit enclosure thing - that seems like that gives them a massive advantage over other SLA printers already.
Wonder what else they've done?
(And for that matter, how big is the risk anyway? As another commenter pointed out, flour is explosive too, but we don't have to do anything special with our flour bins at home to deal with it.)

Ah cool. I've always wanted one of these but didn't want to either have a teensy print volume or pay $10K.

Apparently the plastic print powder is an explosion hazard. I hope they didn't skimp on safety.
