Dan,

Hexapods or similar machines are available from at least these companies:

The Ingersoll Milling Machine Company
www.ingersoll.com

Hexel
www.hexel.com

NEOS Robotics
www.neosrobotics.com

Giddings & Lewis
www.giddings.com

Geodetics
www.dreamhouse.se

The Tricept from NEOS as mentioned in another e-mail is not really a hexapod as it has only three legs. Still it has much of the potential advantages of the hexapods and not only the potential - it is in productive operation in many companies in Europe as well as the US today.
