I am very impressed. However the amount of time, energy, and expertise needed to administer this program is not small. Our firm has a model shop, with a CNC laser machine, and a whole lot of other machinery, we have not even taken the leap to 3d printing. The machine needed would be more expensive than the maker lab though. So in short, great idea, huge potential, but a program that may take a sneaky amount of time and energy to run.

Read into that whatever you want.

That or the Eater Space since it’s fond of taking people’s money and not printing anything.
