A direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) machine costs >$100k. Maybe someday it'll be as affordable as FDM is now.

- abdullahkhalids 4y agoThat doesn't sound too expensive, given the temperatures and safety features involved. But the raw parts are probably an order of magnitude cheaper, so price should come down to those levels if production scales up.
- ezekg 4y agoOh absolutely. If you’re using it in production manufacturing, $100-250k is a small startup cost. I was thinking more of personal ownership like with an FDM 3D printer. Maybe one day!
