Introducing the Microfactory: a networked, easy to operate, affordable, mess-free, quiet, safe and fully-enclosed machine capable of:

* printing functional parts in four colors or multiple materials
* AND computerized etching
* AND computer-controlled milling!

And check out some of the special features we've built in:

* Port for a shop-vac hose so the machine "cleans up after itself" while it runs
* Noise-reducing housing with safety-stop button
* Full on-board computer -- no separate hardware or software needed! Connect and control through any (wired) network.
* High-quality industry standard software built right in
