Only EDM, nobody has tried that apart from Curt. There seem to be no
industrial applications to make PCBs that i can find.
It uses electricity, loads of it, makes fire, under water, and sparks and
all, that is worth it all by itself, if it does produce a PCB in the
process i don't mind either. You can't get much better than that. Even
direct "copper" printing wouldn't be easier as blank PCB without copper is
very hard to get, so either etch it off or pay more...

By the way, do you have any idea how Willem can build his machine so fast?
He must have loads of experience... ;-)
