3d printer-ish EDM

[PeterT]

Any of you guys heard of this marriage between 3D printer motion & EDM? Put your F-bomb earmuffs on, bit of a character, but I'd personally be more pumped about this technology than making plastic parts.

Yeah i watched it. I have worked with EDM machines a tiny bit and I think his EDM print head will be expensive because thats an big piece of electronics. But it is a neat idea. If anyone figures they could make the EDM transformer i would love to hear ideas.
