G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Well... we interviewed them at World Maker Faire for episode 163... back in September.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve Prior Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 And it'll be an expensive paperweight if the company goes under because all the software to run it is web based and not open source. They've committed to releasing their firmware source in that event, but it won't get you very far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Terry Henderson I'm puzzled... your question was "Have you seen this"... didn't the episode answer that? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Terry Henderson Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ My Real Question, Is This Tech A 3D Printer, Or Just An Image Slicer, Then Assemble To Make A 3D Project So To Speak ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Larry Havenstein Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Glowforge is a laser cutter/engraver. It works in 2d and I have been drooling over this for a while. It is actually cheap for what it is. Frankly I want one of these and a CNC router before I want a 3d printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Larry Havenstein Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 But then my long term hobby is woodworking so a laser engraver and CNC machine make more sense than a 3d printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
