There is an outfit near he here in Wisconsin who does just what you are speaking of. I beliee they use some sort of light (laser, UV?) in a liquid bath which solidifies the liquid into a solid but only where the CAD files are told there is a solid. It is a quick way to prototype parts but from what I have been told not durable enough for mold making. I may have been led astray so I may be misinformed. Neat concept though.
