Saw this just today. Interesting how the company is spreading the risk of this hardware project by:<p>* Outsourcing-and-(partly?)-open-sourcing the manufacturing (and probably all of the customer service) to anyone who&#x27;ll sign up via their &quot;100k Garages&quot; website<p>* Open sourcing the API<p>* Soliciting app developers to build job-specific smartphone apps to send a CNC data stream to the hand-held CNC router table.<p>Seems like the target end user market would be carpenters and contractors who do custom high-end work on-site.
