Dear rp-ml,
I'm surprised at the skepticism/cynicism regarding this new product
announcement. I suppose that keeping up to date on new technologies
takes its toll to the extent that new stuff is greeted this way. I'd be
very interested to see the technology working before I made any
conclusions.
One never knows from what corner, trite or profound, innovation comes.
best

Based on the practical experiments also based on the target of the process you don't have to have large manufacturing facilities lined with SLA or SLS. CC can be an independent machine based on the manufacturing target also can be employed in a wide range of applications. We built some parts with surface roughness of about 96Um and layer thickness of about 0.05"( Without surface finishing). > > > > > A Stratasys with Smoothers? > > > > > > > > High-value items like boats are candidates for > > > production by the new method, the researcher believes. > > > "As we gain expertise in this method," Khoshnevis said, > > > "machines improve and cost falls.

After manufacturing you pack the machine either in parts or fully assembled and ship it, that easy!!!!!!!
