Introducing Color Kit 🌈

I have used plenty of third party resins. It’s not a “vertical monopoly”.

A vertical monopoly is where a monopolist solely controls a particular device and all other required attachments required for the operation of that device.

As no one else manufacturers cartridges Formlabs is monopolizing in that owns a vertical monopoly.

The key word here is “all” You don’t need a cartridge to operate the machine. You can purchase third party resin and print parts.

The Tank is required but that’s 1 out of 3 for consumables. It’s not a monopoly because Formlabs doesn’t require “all” of the consumables to be produced by Formlabs.

No open mode while forcing the machine to always fill from a cartridge could be a different story.
