Good points. But, with equipment capable of 45kg/hr and the company quoting bicycle frames at 2 per hour and each of them weigh <600 grams or 1.2kg after one hour of production on one machine, then needs pre & post work!!?? First they need a scaffold to be build in the shape of a bicycle frame!!....how/what/when will they use or achieve 45kg/hr!???....
It may be the highest deposition rates around but the pre-work, set-up and post finishing aren't included!....
IMO if they've used $11M so far I'd be asking some pretty serious questions of what its gone on. And another $6.5M to now buy equipment?? hmmm
I'm all for good exciting technology, this one is at face value, but underneath this one doesn't add up to me...
Electron beam and wire-arc AM are better IMHO as much less setup and post finishing work is needed...
