I am guessing you work in the 3D print industry. Serious question: any chance that BAAM is available to purchase - for a somewhat reasonable price - by school districts any time soon?
Thanks for the compliment. 3824 works in Oak Ridge National Lab's Manufacturing Demonstration Facility. The BAAM is a relatively new technology we've developed and is being commercialized by Cincinnati Inc. Go to YouTube and search for printed Cobra. The BAAM goes for $1M so don't expect it in a school soon. However we are working on a medium sized system with Cosine Additive that is more in line with educational systems.

Good luck. Post pictures of what you are printing.
