People like the idea of 3d-printing because the dream is that you could print any material, and you would not have the limitations CNC has due to angles and bits.

That's the dream, of course. It isn't really a reality yet.

Oh, and CNC machines are big an expensive. Again, people dream that 3d-printers will be smaller, cheaper, and even faster.




I just wish CNC machines would get some press alongside 3d printers, then maybe some better kits would materialize.

Cheap CNC machines are about the same price as 3d printers now.
