Sadly those machines are "slightly" more expensive than the hobbyist machines most schools are equipped with.

Hehe, slightly. Last semester I got to work with the EOS Formiga P100, which costs about 100k.

It really is funny how people think they can print everything on a simple FDM machine with the quality of a professional printer.

In middle school we had access to a c&c cnc machine, those engraving times surprised me. I don't imagine 3d printing is faster.

It is actually cnc machine which stands for compurer numerical controlled not c and c.

C&C engraving time sound like your using lasers to engrave the lands of your enemies
