I had never heard of it, so I tried Googling it. It seems to be an expensive 3D laser printer. Maybe they make scanners also, but I didn't find one by Googling "Glowforge scanner".

Thanks, Vet ... are both the same? ... I guess so! ... Thanks!
So, are you saying the Glowforge is a Dremel cutter, then? ... Or is this a different device?
Yup ... you led me to a different device ... thanks, Vet ... seems a lot like the Glowforge, huh?
Only five grand!!! ... Oh, well! ... Nice, though ... maybe - in time to come ...
Thanks, again, Vet ....

Just go to Glowforge.com.
Tried that, R ... dropped out ... some sites don't have good security measures ... this thing is very finicky ... if it senses something's afoot, it gives up!

You can get a Glowforge Pro for only 6k.
What does the Pro version do, the regular version doesn't, R?

Haven't had the site drop me - just went back in to find the answer to your question. The Pro version is supposedly 20% faster, will produce larger items and has a more advanced cooling system to allow for all day use. I just have a bad feeling about this company - no reason other than they make a lot of claims but don't offer a lot of specs to back them up. Also, only a 6 month warranty on the basic model and one year on the Pro.

Really, Bob? ... kinda chintzy, huh?
And you can't get a Specs sheet, either, huh?
Well, maybe it's better to go the Dremel route, then ... an established company, who's been around a long time ... look up in this very post - for info ....

Have no interest in this type of printer anyway. Just giving my impression of the company's web site and ads - and I certainly could be wrong. But yes- my instinct would tell me to go with the other. Of course, if I were interested, for that kind of money I would do a LOT more research.

Oh, Really, Bob?
I just might pick up one, and also the PRO one - for good measure ... once I can find the 12 grand ...
