Some makerspaces have letterpresses, too. Putting the old tech under the same roof as CNC machines and 3D printers is a really cool synergy. It's also nice having a real wood shop, so your random "can I use this to make type?" experiment can easily get a shim milled to make it exactly type-high without a lot of work. I'm not the expert on it, but I'm pretty sure SLA 3D printers are basically the same machine that printing folks get very excited about when referred to as "polymer plates".
