Anybody familiar with these guys?

NBC carried a news brief about a child's 3D-printed hand prosthesis, and I noticed that it was fabbed on an Airwolf unit.

    Never seen 'em before, which means nothing. Based on their prices, they think highly of themselves. The frsme construction is attractive but not sure how rigid. I'm not sure what class leading build volume is but it looks pretty good.

    Mine's bigger and less expensive, if it is ever delivered.

    Using this model for a year almost on daily basis:

    Printhead failed two times (resistor burned). Heat bed failed once. While polycarbonate printing is declared, even using recomended supplies does not provide good result with polycarbonate - can't maintain proper shape - if feed rate is fast enough, then it can't dry in time so shapes become scorched, if print speed decreased, then polycarbonate hardens in printhead, jamming it.
