Neat project comparing FDM. Now, let's be a little more fair and start looking at what production companies will be buying: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/printers/3d-printers.html http://www8.hp.com/us/en/printers/3d-printers.html http://www.stratasys.com/3d-printers/production-series http://www.stratasys.com/3d-printers/production-series No contest.
