I put this in general forum as the machine is being touted as perfect for making...... Motorcycle parts!

QuoteAuto and motorcycle enthusiasts with a bit of CAD savvy will soon have access to a remarkably affordable dream machine â€" the US$5,000 MarkForged Mark One. Touted as the worldâ€™s first 3D printer capable of printing in carbon fiber, the device could trigger an avalanche of aftermarket carbon fiber bolt-on parts

Were I already in the [Dolph] CF accessories business I would add this to my shop in an instant. Customers could send in any parts that they wanted copied in carbon fiber and get them printed out. I think I am gonna [drool]

I had to add, this is in it's infancy and it's actual strength is not known as the fibers are not woven.

The other link will probably bury the story in its history pretty quickly.

Interesting though! Thanks for posting it up
