It looks like it fills up a tray to do the print. Does it reuse what it doesn't solidify for future prints? (It would seem like a waste otherwise)

The tray is large enough to contain enough resin for roughly 12 hours of printing and all of the uncured resin can be reused for the next print.

It looks to me like it fills up enough to do a few layers, then refills, so any wastage should be minimal.
