Cool interview. Granted, for a different audience, but I think it does a good job of explaining what they do to people who aren't familiar.

I have heard of them, I remember a while back some guy was posting on the reddit that he had one at work and made some dutch equipment in Z scale with it. Results were fuzzy but I imagine in 5 years or so you really could reach the point where a company can just mass produce completed and decorated shells with the tech. Could be a game changer since a company could move from paying 20k for a set of tooling for one model to paying 30k for a shell printer and around the same for a Chassis printer/auto cnc, but then just make whatever they want on a whim or even on demand.

Phrasing.  Exactly what does Kato do to people who are not familiar?

Do they have an enforcer?
