    Too bad it's so expensive.

      And can we please stop calling everything a fucking "printer"? There's 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC mills. My HP laser printer cannot cut the paper.

      This thing is a laser cutter, not a laser printer.

      So expensive? The nearest analog to this is likely the Epilog line, and those generally start around the $15k mark.
