    My point was that this would fill a similar niche for small medium volume parts with a similar cost model. Of course it's a different method.

  2. Don't bother talking sense to the negative do-nothing nancies on /. Not worth your time.

    For most metals the larger the grain size the softer the part is- that's why people anneal metals to soften them. If the parts are as about as tough as cast they will have plenty of applications.

    There are production parts manufactured on 3d lathes, you can see it on youtube if you like. How is this different?

    They tell you exactly the volume of one of their manufacturing systems, 500 CI per hour. Obviously they are talking about small parts and not diesel tractor transmission cases.

    Right. Because promises of a cost advantages of a couple factors over existing products in a rapidly advancing field are so sexy and an easy way to defraud investors. This isn't zero point energy for fuckssake.

    Right. Go look at their website and tell me this is a fake company. I don't see anywhere where they are soliciting investors. BTW Massachusetts is not a state I would want to be and get charged with fraud....
