His point stands. There is zero practicality in looking at SLS, SLM, or EBM in FRC. You couldn't even afford the powder for one of those machines with the budget OP is looking at.

Sure, it's good for a prospective engineer to understand how those technologies work and the applications they're good for, but FRC isn't one of them.
