Doesn't this give FDM a huge advantage? How many people want brittle products? Does the actua make brittle products too? Doesn't this generate a niche for FDM?

Also, how much does the Actua cost compared to SSYS's machines?

Also, how often do people use these systems to build 1 prototype (for visualization etc) vs making a whole bunch? I would think 1 prototype would be a lot more common.
