I watched this video and was impressed. The scanning technology is cool, but the printing technology is incredible. To be able to have a physical, working model of a widget in hand, minutes after scanning the original is fantastic from a manufacturing standpoint. To be able to do this for under $20,000 is off the chart!
I work for a major Metrology outfit that specializes in manufacturing CMMs. Coordinate Measuring Machines that start at $50,000 and can go well past $1,000,000 and these don’t include any cool plastic parts printers. I can’t see how this doesn’t seriously impact the very core of our business.
