Coming from a machining background, the product they have created is a $2000USD mini mill with the largest tool being a .125" endmill. Their specs list a precision of .001". Now is that TIR, X/Y travel, or backlash?
The work envelope is 5.5x4.5x1.35 which is small. This looks like a purpose built PCB mill.
Does PCB manufacturing require a $2k+ mill? Is sampling a PCB not cheaper?

- ISL 11y agoIf they can make it easy for someone to use, and they get more than $2k of value from the thing, everyone wins.
