I see at least one machine in production which claims 1 micron

If so, that is truly amazing. Production times have to be sky high at that tight of resolution I bet. But just imagine...having overhangs and tall-thin webs and holes that dont have line of sight access for traditional machining methods. Cooling ducts with no mating part and no gaskets. No debur ops. No chips!! omg...Back spotfaces. Raised/recessed text in areas to aid assembly. Thats a mfg engineers wetdream. I'm getting moist. I wish Kelly Johnson was alive to dream stuff up with this tech.

The build volume on this machine is pretty small, about 2"x2"x4". It builds at about 1mm per hour, so to use the entire volume would be about 2-4 days.

On the other hand, there are much larger machines around, for much more money.

Getting good data is not easy. They want me to submit data for a quote.
