The interesting thing about this is the fact that this is becoming old technology and is beginning to trickly down to the enthusiast level. I'm sure it's expensive but those "copy" machines used to be the size of a small bedroom and now they have become handheld. I find it mind boggling that it built that adjustable wrench all at once and it was functional instead of producing all three components (body, sliding jaw, lead screw) and having a human assemble them outside the machine. That's kinda scary!
