Re: [rp-ml] Dimension uPrint.

Repackaged, old technology. Those guys are pretty good marketeers.
 
Prodigy  - 9 years old. low end version of FDM with less capability
Dimension 7 years old. Repackaged Prodigy with even less capability.
Dimension SST and Elite, add in some of the capability elliminated with older versions.
Now the Uprint. - Nothing new. Lets just buy repackaged old technology.
 
Are they good at marketing, or are we blind?

People may like to know that Unimatic Engineers Ltd., are now selling
their version of RepRap (that they call RapMan) for under £1000. See
