Has anyone heard if they will take the tech back towards open or move in a closed direction? I don't know much about Statasys but I'm guessing they are a closed company and their machines aren't open sourced?


Statasys is the company that unilaterally suspended a leasing contract for one of their more professional targeted printers after the leaser used it to print lower receivers and other various gun parts.

I'm not too sure they are up to par with the freedoms open source is meant to afford.


That's the first thing that came to mind for me too.


Some discussion about that here, but no speculation http://fabbaloo.com/blog/2013/6/19/breaking-stratasys-acquir...
