 I suspect that that is on their
 long-term roadmap.
 
 But, right now, they are trying to re-invent the wheel.
 After 6 years of
 development, they are now only about 30 years behind the
 industry
 standards.
 
 Rep-rap has been developed from the Maker movement. The one
 major knock I
 have against that is that that movement pretty much ignored
 industry and
 existing design experience and tries to redo things from
 scratch.

That's because they didn't want to get sued by 3D Systems and Stratasys. 
Stratasys recently bought MakerBot for $400 million.
