Last time there was something on this I recall a flood of comments saying this was impossible unless you had a million bucks, so I'm glad to see even within some reasonable limits there's something like this! Yay!
- abdullahkhalids 4y agoThe sponsors for the project are footing most of the bill, mostly in an attempt to grow the space. A commercial product trying to do this, will indeed need to sink a few million bucks into something like this.
- lnsru 4y agoIt was never million bucks. There were always businesses offering square millimeter of silicon for few thousands euro on an older technology. Design service might go into millions if one can’t do it by himself though.
