I've not been paying attention to 3D printing for quite a while now. Which companies are ruling the roost of desktop 3D printing these days?

FormLabs if you have the cash and don't care too much about the strength of your parts; their laser/light resin system is amazingly accurate. Otherwise, you're often best served by buying a cheap-ish commodity printer (the one from Monoprice is surprisingly pretty good) and repairing or replacing it (to the tune of 400-500 dollars for a replacement). Unless you need both strength and super high print quality, the cheap printers are getting to be plenty good enough these days.
