Slick. Couldn't understand a word he said. Seems like the second unit, the sweeper, was redundant. Couldn't the initial scraper just push the part off the end and Park itself?

No one has owned up to it yet! I think it may be that they're trying to make a commercial concern out of it that they aren't opening up on the forums.

Re: New valance robotics automated platform on solidoodle

looks like they are going to start selling printers

Possibly a solidoodle with mods?

I have no clue since they haven't released that much information yet

Read it more carefully. They are not selling printers, they are selling prints made from their 'auto' printer. Notice they talk about 'their' filament, cloud based printing, and how you can 'watch' your print being made.

This would only be impressive if they attach an automatic conveyor system that catches your print, boxes it, prints the label and then ships it to you all without human operators. That is what college students should be doing.
