Yes, sorry, I was trying to highlight that with the "... digital controllers ..." bit. I'm no electrical engineer so maybe this is not a big deal.

I've implemented a Gerber to GCode converter. All these things are well within reach. The point I'm trying to make is that to do them well, to have the bugs worked out, to have them reliable enough for production use, etc. is much more difficult than one would think.

One of the big factors that the current gamut of slicer toolchains has going for it is that people have been using it, so its limitations are known.

This is kind of my point. The statements are crafted as if to entice people on the periphery of this space who are knowledgeable enough to know its possible, or who are frustrated with the current toolchain or machine price points, but who don't have a good enough sense for whats probable.

Again, there's no reason this shouldn't exist. I would never want to discourage someone for making an attempt at displacing the current batch of clunky software. I really hope this tool does exist at the price point they're claiming.

I would give them much more slack if they had code released or has some or all of their machine's schematics or code under a libre/free/open license. As it stands, it seems very scammy.

Anyway, thanks for the response. I agree, we'll have to see.
