Mmm, not really. There's a difference between standard DLP technology and that process that claims to be 100x faster. Standard DLP printing is resin-based and has a lot of the drawbacks of resin printing: small volume, high expense (both for the printer and for the resin), low yield. There is still a limited availability of resin types and none of them are as versatile as the choices you can get in 1.75mm filament.

They do have excellent resolution and for exquisite detail on tiny parts, they can't be beat. But it's sort of a niche market.
