Well said, and I am aware and had no doubt this would happen. But it shouldn't have to. There are many ways to make a profit with NEW technology without making them outrageously expensive relative to their cost. Either way I agree with your statement. And I too agree that we'll be seeing this boom very soon. In fact I believe that these type of machines will be the most important devices in space exploration. Don't have what you need? Throw in the raw materials and make it! haha. Can't wait

Of course some 3d-printers will be more expensive than some others. But take an example as computers, they started off as oversized calcualtors in building-shape and they were not cheap either. Then look at today, the world is filled with computers, some more affordable than others. Just like computers, 3d-printers will need time to develop. I'm sure the public will like it. Just be patient and see, in a few years it might have become a standard in many households.

how ,uch are we talking in terms of now? Price will come down, only if the public catches onto it and likes it and gives it the necessary investment. High prices are no way to advance technology. All it does is hold its true flowering off until a later point in time. Considering how relatively easy and cheap it is to manufacture and design a prototyping machine, the price should be far less. However this does seem like the Cadillac of 3d printers... Its all relative.

Don't forget that this technology is still developing, as it becomes easier to make these printers, the price will go down.

That narrator says: everyone can afford to create all kinds of models at home, but that machine is very expensive (for someone with an average income). So thats bullsh*t.

I would print bricks and build a house of fake bricks:D
