Vacuum bagging tables are pretty easy to do and would require minimal production supplies (have to replace the plastic when it starts sticking). I think UV cure would be a challenge due to part thickness variations (different incident angles); meaning you have to have a ton of uv bulbs or a rastering uv laser on a robotic mount. Not easy. Plus it's easier to get the parts to conform to a mold base with vacuum bagging--leading to less production assembly issues downline.
Students, you should know that quality academic assistance companies really exist. I know you wouldn't believe a random guy on the web, so just read the essay service review and get your own opinion.

What biodegradable resin is Nathan referring to in the article? Something developed in house at Aptera? Or something developed in his former association with Kestrel? It makes sense that the body panels are being developed and manufactured in Alberta, former home of Kestrel.
I have a bit of fiberglassing experience with canoes and kayaks, and I can personally attest to the nastiness of epoxy resins. Long term exposure of Aptera workers to epoxies doesn't fit with the company vibe at all.
The Aptera folks have developed some vacuum bag manufacturing techniques to almost eliminate exposure to those nasty fumes as well as greatly speed up the molding process.
They mentioned using UV curable epoxies like those used by modern dentists inside your mouth for cavity repairs. I trust those aren't too toxic. 😬
