I was curious to know if DLP can make parts that have the strength and appearance of polycarbonate. Are there any DLP resins which can do this? What about fiber reinforcement - can DLP make parts containing short fibers for structural reinforcement purposes?
What is the cost of DLP resin in comparison to FFF/FDM filament? Again, I've read conflicting information - some people say DLP resin is cheaper, and others say it's more expensive than filament.

The metal DLP is probably similar to how we can paste extrude metal clay and then put it in a kiln. Probably most SLA printers will work.
But does this produce a metal part which is as strong as a forged metal part? Or will it be much weaker?

Well, I'd like to be able to print plastic parts which can be directly used in a final product. Or else, I'd like to at least be able to print molds which can be used to make the parts.
So based on what you've said, I guess FFF/FDM is the better choice for me. I value physical robustness of the final part over intricate detail of the geometry.
