Hadn't seen that... thanks! New machine looks promising. Especially nice that they pictured a precision model in the blog piece rather than some random art bit or a fantasy monster that masks resolution issues. They're getting it.

Agree.  If that model would sell for ~$100, then they really do have a game changer.

Maybe some day. All they would have to do is come up with a generic automobile form to wrap your car picture around.

I wouldn't hold my breath.
