The result of these two parallel developments is an industry that is now worth an estimated £1.3 billion.

What exactly is the problem with pointing out that low cost 3d printers are inferior to their 400,000$ industrial brethren?

If you watched a Fortus machine print for 5 minutes you would understand the difference in capability.

RepRap technology is just fine. Cheaper, weaker frames can be compensated with lower print speeds easily. Extruders are pretty reliable. Software does its work.

What RepRap lacks from the professional perspective is emphasis on professional demands. If a printer produces its first part, it's half done at best. What should follow is precision calibration and setting up software to allow prints at the push of a button, without turning the brain on. As there is not much such interest, even technologies and descriptions are lacking. Professional machines, however, deliver such results. Three print quality profiles, a push button and printed parts accurate to 0.05 mm. Every time.

I printed a whole computer case in two parts that can fit power supplies, hard drives, two mini-itx motherboards and a graphics card.
