>yes but that only applies for small printers, the larger the bed, the higher resolution projector/display is required for printing (meaning large DLP printers are expensive and large MSLA printers are low res). Laser reaches a cost/performance sweet spot where the moai printer is.

Laser SLA doesn't scale too well either, beyond a certain angle i imagine you start to get distortions in the laser spot resulting in an oval instead of a circle. Formlabs addressed this by changing their setup to have the laser sweep only one dimension and mounting it on a moving gantry.

Also the Moai's build volume isn't that much larger, at 13x13cm the build its similar to having two Mars/Photon screens next to eachother. At the same ~70 micron resolution you can get a 4K-panel Phrozen transform with a larger build volume than the Moai, if that's what you're after.
